TRAKTIVIST RADIO - EP 044 w TEAM TRAKTIVIST

 
 

 

This Thurs 5pm, get to know TEAM TRAKTIVIST, including our newest volunteers! Within just one year, we’ve gone from four people to almost thirty on our team! We have team members not just from Southern California, but also the SF Bay Area and as far reaching as Thailand and Malaysia! One of the best parts of this work is being able to do it with others who share the vision and passion about the music that is made from our Asian American community. Learn about each of us as we talk about why we joined TRAKTIVIST, what artists & songs inspired our interest into music made by Asian Americans, and why we push for more diversity and representation in music.
