Redefining Asian American Narratives Through Storytelling

TED-Ed

Duration: 15m

Frustrated by the lack of Asian American representation in mainstream media, co-founders Katerina Jeng and Krystie Mak started Slant’d, a media company that celebrates Asian American identity and the stories that make us human. Slant’d launched its inaugural issue in 2017 and is expanding into digital and in-person programming to build an intersectional community that boldly defies stereotypes, one story at a time. As emerging voices in the media landscape, Katerina and Krystie have been featured on CBS News, Colorlines, the first ever "100 most Influential Asians" list, and more.
