What you didn’t hear on that college tour.

You’ve read the brochures. You’ve probably met the eager tour guide. But now, it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty… It’s time to unpack the stereotypes we’ve all heard but never actually known whether they’re true or not.

In A (Not So) Classified College Collage, we’ll meet students from universities all around the world who have been there, done that. They’re ready to share their own experiences and give us insight as to what their school has really, truly been like for them.

The podcast I wish younger me had when I was growing up as a multiracial woman in the US.

Taisse is “Yang and Hungry” (for food always!) but mainly to learn more about herself and her guests as she navigates through topics like dating, relationships, mental health, ethnicity/race, and life in general. Join her as she shares her journey growing up as a multiracial daughter of immigrants and the life lessons she’s learned along the way.

Tell me yours, and I’ll tell you mine.
