Welcome to Season 3, Episode 5! In
episode 3 of this season, we talked about the
amazing Kim Loo Sisters. Today’s episode we had a chance to talk
with Leslie Li,
the daughter of the third sister, Jeneé. Other than writing the
book
Just Us Girls: The Kim Loo Sisters,
Leslie is working on the documentary
of the group and she is an accomplished author as well. She wrote
the books
Bittersweet as well as
Daughter of Heaven: A Memoir with Earthly
Recipes. We really enjoyed our conversation with
Leslie, and she shared stories of the Kimmies as well as
information on her books, her thoughts on diverse storytelling,
what she’s working on now, and so much more. To learn more about
Leslie’s books, visit her book page on
her site. We really hope the Kim Loo Sisters documentary gets made,
because we need to celebrate Asian American History before it gets
forgotten. So hopefully there’s a wealthy benefactor who’s
listening to this podcast who can help out. For previous episodes
