5 days ago

VIRAL LOVE is a podcast about the resiliencies of Chinatowns across the United States—particularly amidst the racial violence of the COVID-19 pandemic. While phrases like “racism is a virus” or “hate is a virus” have gained popularity over the course of the pandemic, VIRAL LOVE hopes to make room for joy by highlighting stories of community, resilience, and peace building instead. Join Xin Sheng Project co-founder Sabrina Lin as she explores Chinatowns in Oakland, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York City.
