Shoes Off Inside with MKT
Three trailblazing Asian American women in TV journalism and Hollywood join forces to rattle some cages and dismantle tired old stereotypes about race, age, sex and culture. Award-winning journalist May Lee and actresses Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita (a.k.a. MKT) take on topics that aren't often discussed in the most open, authentic and, sometimes, hilarious way because they are unafraid to be fully themselves. They're all 50+ and fabulous so they got nothing to hide and they are beyond the point of caring about what other people think! So take your Shoes Off Inside and join MKT to engage, contribute, challenge and, most importantly, have fun! Lots and lots of FUN!

#79 - LA Riots 30 Years On
On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles exploded and became a virtual war zone because four white LA police officers were acquitted in the brutal beating of black motorist, Rodney King. Massive riots were triggered, but much of the violence and destruction took place in Koreatown. Lives were lost, businesses were destroyed, but perhaps the worst damage was the misleading narratives that were perpetuated and inflamed about Black-Korean conflict. 30 years on, there are still misunderstandings and misinformation about the root causes of the LA Riots, but activists, faith leaders, public servants and ordinary people have been working towards better understanding and more unity. May talks with Hyepin Im, President and CEO of FACE LA, Faith and Community Empowerment, who has been at the forefront of building bridges between communities of color. To Im, this is a personal mission to find answers and help heal old wounds.
