AAPI Podcasts

When CAAPLE (California Association of Asian & Pacific Leaders in Education) started their podcast in October 2022, they named it “More Than A Monolith”. The name is definitely fitting. AAPI, which commonly stands for Asian American and Pacific Islanders, “are about 6% of the U.S. population and are the country’s fastest-growing racial group. A population of more than 20 million, we are expected to grow to 35 million by 2060.The AAPI label is an umbrella term for over 50 ethnic groups and when considered as a standalone identity, a monolithic group, the richness of our community is diminished, and our different experiences and truths become void.”(source) So we are bringing to you a list of podcasts that would help you learn about the AAPI’s colorful diversity.

More Than a Monolith

The AAPI label is an umbrella term for over 50 ethnic groups and when considered as a standalone identity, a monolithic group, the richness of the AAPI community is diminished, and different experiences and truths become void. On this podcast, you will embark on a journey to dismantle the stereotypes as it sets out to show the AAPI community is more than a monolith by addressing misperceptions, sharing our truths and exploring personal stories.

Each episode is a conversation where we dive into a variety of topics. We explore topics like policy, leadership, culture, racism and share space for hearing personal stories to celebrate the diverse narratives behind the AAPI name. We are one community standing strong together in honoring our multiple perspectives and unique histories.

The mission of CAAPLE is to ensure equity and address the needs of AAPI students by recruiting, growing, and connecting AAPI educators and leaders.
