Truth and Consequences

Named as one of the “top 10 religion newsmakers” of 2022, Christa Brown has persisted for two decades in working to peel back the truth about clergy sex abuse and coverups in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention. As one of the first to go public with substantiated child molestation allegations against a Baptist minister—and documentation that others knew—she has consistently demanded reforms to make other kids and congregants safer.

It’s hard enough trying to make it in the entertainment industry. When you factor in discrimination against non-White actors the obstacles and challenges multiply. In today’s conversation we examine the barriers faced by Asian actors in Hollywood with my former guest, Rowena Chiu and her friends Angela Yeoh and Ashley Chiu who played her in the movie, She Said. From the lack of Asian roles and the phenomenon of White actors being cast as Asians, to decades of highly offensive portrayals and the commonplace dehumanizing of Asian women in entertainmentIt’s a fascinating and and important discussion because, as Rowena points out, these obstacles are a reflection of the wider context of living in a racist world.Show Noteshttps://ashleychiu.com/ Our beautiful theme song is written & performed by Maddie Morris and produced by Pete Ord at Haystack Records.Find the Truth & Consequences website, Facebook page, Instagram & Twitter accounts.
