Episode 18: Not Your Average Taboos - a podcast by Not Your Average Mai

In this episode, we take on a lighter subject of taboos within the Hmong community and dive into why these taboos exist. From discussing the taboo of ‘dating someone with your same last name’ to the taboo of periods and infertility, we are excited to share our thoughts on these “taboo” subjects and how they essentially all tie back to patriarchy and gender expectations within our community. Tune in to help us unpack and reflect on these taboos!

What other taboos have we missed that are equally important for our Hmong community to de-stigmatize? What are other ways we can address and make these taboos less stigmatizing? Share your thoughts with us!
