This is an open call for Asian American and Pacific Islander participants to join the mental health–focused podcast Decolonizing Healing, hosted by Thilini Weerakkody. The podcast explores how colonialism and fascism have shaped AAPI relationships to mental health, healing, and ancestral practices, combining personal narratives with historical and psychological perspectives.

The project is structured around four interconnected themes—forgetting, seeing, remembering, and resisting—and centers on grief, cultural loss, survival, reclamation, and active resistance. Guests will participate in a 10–15 minute interview followed by a recorded podcast conversation. A stable internet connection and a quiet recording environment are required.
