A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:

Crushing The Myth (CTM) is an Asian American speaker series that shares Asian American stories and perspectives with a global audience. Established in January of 2019, CTM aims to connect Asian Americans and allies to each other.

I spoke with the Founder of Crushing The Myth, JD Chang about why he created CTM, and its mission.
