In this podcast, Kathryn Bird and Sunny Wang explore the impact of the Model Minority Myth through conversations with Leona, Kaden, and Marshall, students at Lincoln High School. Leona, a high-achieving Asian American student pursuing her IB Diploma, shares how academic expectations and cultural stereotypes have shaped her experiences and contributed to intense pressure to succeed. Kaden and Marshall, dedicated Wushu athletes, offer a different perspective, discussing how balancing rigorous athletic training with academic responsibilities has influenced their mental and physical well-being. Together, their stories reveal the complexities of achievement, identity, and the pressures often associated with the Model Minority Myth.
