Job description

Join Naya Magazine as a podcast co-host for their upcoming project, Decolonizing Healing. This project aims to explore how colonialism and fascism has sculpted the relationship Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) have with mental health and healing. Through exploring personal narratives as well as offering psychoeducation on the history and research behind this historical violence, we can understand the complexity of the issues the AAPI community faces and hold space of the grief of all the violence we have collectively experienced. Moreover, this project aims to humanize the injustice that has occurred in our communities, highlighting that we are not just victims to systematic violence, but instead active participants in resistance, reclamation, and remembering.

The project will unfold in four thematic parts: forgetting, seeing, remembering, and resisting. Each of these parts are interconnecting, offering a narrative arc about theft, awareness, cultural reclamation and liberation.

The goals of the podcast are the following:

Name and explore the history of systemic violence and how it contributed to the erasure of ancestral healing practices.
Spend time grieving the cultural loss as an act of resistance against a society that is uncomfortable with the violence they reaped.
Explore the benefits of forgetting, and how it’s promoted by the very elders who raised you, in order to survive and assimilate in American society

They are looking for a member of the AAPI community passionate about mental health for AAPIs with a strong voice and interest in podcasting. Work will include participating in recordings of the podcast and planning meetings with the project lead and the head of Naya.

Requirements

• Must be Asian American or Pacific Islander
• Must be interested in delving into AAPI mental health and speaking at length
• Must have stable internet connection and quiet environment for recording
