APA Compass: Gene Yang, Andrew Lam, CHOPS
On Friday's APA Compass:

  • Producer and hip hop rapper CHOPS talks about his kickstarter campaign to produce a great album of amazing Asian-American musicians.
  • Award winning author and journalist Andrew Lam tells us why he cofounded New American Media.  "Birds of Paradise Lost" is his latest story collection on the Vietnamese disaspora.
APA Compass promotes social justice, features APA arts and culture, and challenges how APAs are represented in the media.
