Episode 7 of 'A Tu Salud' features Connie Chung Joe, JD, Chief Executive Officer of Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California (AJSOCAL)

Dr. Seciah Aquino, Executive Director of the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California (LCHC), sits down with Connie Chung, CEO of Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California. 

Connie shares her journey as a second-generation Korean American, her journey into public service leadership, and the modern-day racism and xenophobia placed onto AAPI and Latine communities. Together, they discuss the vital role of women of color in leadership, the rise of cross-cultural solidarity movements in the ongoing fight for health equity, recognizing that Latine and AAPI communities face similar health and social determinants of health challenges.

From addressing language barriers and undocumented access to healthcare to fostering solidarity between communities of color, “women get sh*t done!” and these two women prove that. 

Episode notes: This conversation was taped before Kamala Harris entered the 2024 presidential campaign as the Democratic Part’s candidate for President of the United States. Some mild explicit language is used in this episode.
