Kimmy Yam is one of the most exciting voices reporting on Asian America right now. She is the Asian Voices Editor at Huffpost, covering issues that disproportionately affect the Asian-American community. She is a self-proclaimed data nerd who uses her fact-checking powers to give nuanced reporting on topics from poverty, immigration, media representation, and more. On this episode, Kimmy talks about her no BS Fujianese upbringing, her journey to finding her identity, and the trials and tribulations of being a female journalist and how she deals with the toxicity of the internet.
