Building Communi-tea came about after two friends were talking about how fed up we were that the Asian American perspective was often muted and dismissed in mainstream media. To help with representation, hosts Whitney and Anu decided to come together during quarantine to talk about cultural issues, unspoken ideas, and more in effort to help Asian American Millennials feel less alone.

 

Sharing a mutual admiration of tea and puns,Whitney and Anu poured a cup of tea and got to work! On each episode, they address cultural issues that many have faced, in addition to reflecting upon their own experience  growing up in America. Building Communi-tea seeks to use these experiences and talks to build a large and inclusive community where dialogue and connection increases.
