Speaking Up to #StopAsianHate, with Jolene Jang

In this episode of The Room Block I am joined by Jolene Jang, Asian Inclusivity Expert and #StopAsianHate advocate. Jolene gives us a glimpse into current Asian American concerns and explains how Asian American lives are being affected by hate – as well as why this matters to the hospitality and events industry. In this honest and raw conversation, Jolene Jang speaks up for the many who can’t, or won’t speak for themselves, for reasons that you will hear about in this episode.  As hospitality workers, meeting and event organizers, and community builders who truly care about the experiences of our guests, colleagues and customers, listen in to hear how you can do your part to #StopAsianHate.

Jolene Jang’s mission is to help people lead happier lives by thinking differently, adding perspectives, and exploring possibilities. She inspires people to dream, imagine, and play the ‘What if…” game. She provides her audiences with innovative experiences to introduce new ideas, break patterns, and inspire them to think differently.

With over 25 years of entrepreneurial experience as the Fun Specialist, most of Jolene’s career was spent working with Fortune 500 companies as a speaker and consultant, teaching their employees how to build more productive teams and maximize meeting effectiveness. She graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a BA in marketing and as a passionate lifelong learner. She has been interviewed by Oprah, Today Show and Good Morning America and 35 other news outlets.

Today, Jolene is a grassroots #StopAsianHate advocate, culture explorer, and reporter who specializes in introducing people to Asian American concerns. Asians lived experiences must be heard in order to illustrate the insidious hate and persistent effect on Asians across all aspects of their lives.
