The Talkative Laotian by Myla Athitang and Ally Phouangkeo

Episode notes

In today's episode, Ally and I discuss the childhood experiences of Laotian beauty standards, colorism within the community, and other topics. Growing up, a majority of Laotian Americans experienced certain standards and practices carried over from the homeland of Laos. From Pageant practices to youth soccer, we graze the surfaces of our childhood milestones and "traumas".
