It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

Most of us have gotten at least a little emotional at some point recently. It’s natural. But why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day? Can we learn to skillfully choose which emotions to listen to and which ones to just let move on by? In More Than A Feeling, the latest podcast from Ten Percent Happier, host Saleem Reshamwala goes on a real life quest to find the answers to these questions. He’ll experiment with neuroscientists, dive into stories ...

Celebrating Cultural Unity and Literary Passion at the Orlando Blasian Book Fair
I’m so psyched to talk about the team behind the Blasian Book Fair Orlando!
The Blasian March proudly combines forces with Make Us Visible Florida [MUV FL] and Kizzy Books & More to present the first ever Blasian Book Fair in Orlando on Saturday September 14th, 1 – 5 PM, in Orlando, FL at A Perfect Union Art Gallery in West Oaks Mall, 9401 W. Colonial Drive. In partnership with FusionFest and A Perfect Union Art Gallery, this public event offers free books from Black, Asian and Blasian writers to bridge our communities and share similar histories and struggles for justice.
Rohan Zhou-Lee is the force behind the Blasian March, a movement that has grown from a local initiative into a nationwide phenomenon. Trenessa Williams is the founder of Kizzy’s Books & More, an independent bookstore committed to embracing the African-American culture and the joy of reading.
Together, they share their stories, challenges, and visions for the future, all while gearing up for the highly anticipated Orlando Blasian Book Fair.
Rohan shares how the movement was born out of a desire to foster solidarity between Black and Asian communities, particularly in the face of rising racial tensions. They spoke candidly about the challenges they have faced along the way, from organizing events to navigating the complexities of cultural unity.
Trenessa’s deep passion for books and commitment to creating a space where diverse voices are celebrated is electrifying. I can’t wait for Central Floridians to come out and meet Trenessa to learn more about her store and share her love for books.
We are excited about the upcoming Orlando Blasian Book Fair, an event that promises to celebrate cultural diversity and literary passion. The Book Fair represents a unique opportunity to highlight the intersection of culture and literature and celebrate the voices of Black, Asian, and Blasian authors.
With over 100 books already donated from publishing houses like Haymarket Books, Scholastic, and Simon & Schuster, the Blasian Book Fair in Orlando will offer the community stories written for and by the Black, Asian, and Blasian communities alongside their intersections.
The free book fair includes Native literature to honor the people indigenous to this land. Attendees – dress and show off your heritage pride. There will also be a lineup of panels, performance art, including a lion dance, and a cosplay runway show! Everyone is welcome to participate.
Special appearances include rapper and activist Jason Chu, nationally acclaimed and award-winning teen writer Sumer Strawbree, and more! To support the event, you can donate to our Go Fund Me fundraiser, which directly benefits Kizzy’s Books & More.
Please follow @makeusvisibleflorida @blasianmarch @kizzysbooksandmore on social media to stay tuned!
I’ve been enjoying these conversations and hope you have too. If you have, please rate my podcast on your platform of choice and share it with others! If you would like to support with a donation to help keep this podcast going and support the work I do, you can become a patron of the show by visiting my website or Mimi Chan on Patreon.
