Episode 168: Asian American Identity with Old Navys Head of Voice, Jeanine Pang

Published: May 20, 2022, midnight

b'In our last episode, the three of us talked about our relationships with our Asian American identity. Today, as we often do on this podcast, we have invited a guest to offer a different perspective on this topic.\\nShe is the Senior Creative Director, Head of Voice at Old Navy, a brand often associated with traditional Americana when we were teenagers - I don\\u2019t know if anyone else remembers those Old Navy 4th of July T-shirts, but they were pretty iconic and widely worn when we were young. Jeanine also happens to be an Asian American woman.\\nAs Head of Voice, she\\u2019s created award-winning marketing campaigns for the brand, including the size-inclusive Bodequality! campaign last year. Before Old Navy, she has written and edited for Vogue, W Magazine, Refinery29, and Opening Ceremony. She also has a masters in journalism from columbia university, and has written numerous culture features and op-eds. In our personal conversations, she has shared her passion for the Asian American identity - thinking through questions like \\u201cWhat does it mean to be Asian? and \\u201cWhat does it mean to be American?\\u201d We shared some of our own perspectives on this topic in the last episode, and now, we get to hear from Jeanine.\\nThis month, we\\u2019re working with Old Navy on a campaign to celebrate our AAPI heritage and reclaim what it means to be \\u2018American\\u2019 in 2022\\u201d. We are so pleased to be partnering with them on this very important conversation, so thank you, Old Navy, for sponsoring this episode.\\nThis episode was edited by Michelle Hsieh.\\n___________________________\\nL I S T E N E R S U R V E Y:\\nLet us know your thoughts on the podcast\\xa0here\\n\\nP A R T N E R S mentioned in this episode:\\n- AcornTV: Get 30 days free with code abg at acorn.tv\\n- Billie: Get The Starter Kit for just $9 at mybillie.com/ABG\\n- Comcast: Learn more and apply at www.comcastRISE.com/apply\\n- Fast Growing Trees: Get 15% off at fastgrowingtrees.com/abg\\n- First Republic Bank: Visit firstrepublic.com\\n- Little Passports: Get 20% off at littlepassports.com/ABG\\n- Peloton: Get The Peloton Bike+ for $500 less and more at oneploton.com\\n\\nS H O U T O U T !\\n- Give a shoutout on the podcast\\xa0here.\\n\\nS U B S C R I B E T O U S !\\n- @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / YouTube / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook\\n- More about us at\\xa0asianbossgirl.com\\n\\nE \\u2013 M A I L U S !\\n-\\xa0hello@asianbossgirl.com\\n\\nS U P P O R T U S !\\n- merch:\\xa0asianbossgirl.myshopify.com\\n- donation:\\xa0anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
