<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2364833/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this episode of the Asian Diaspora Project, we hang out with comedian and writer Sierra Katow, who proves that juggling punchlines, coding gigs, and family traditions is no joke—except when it is. Sierra spills on her first awkward-but-awesome open mic at 16, navigating the comedy scene while moonlighting in tech, and how her multigenerational Asian-American roots keep her grounded (and laughing). From funny family quirks to exploring history through humor, she shares how her heritage and creativity collide in unexpected ways. Get ready for a chat packed with laughs, heart, and a few surprise revelations about tins, accents, and the undeniable power of saying, “No, yeah.”<a href="https://asiasociety.org/asian-diaspora">Asian Diaspora Project</a> is a social media initiative of <a href="https://asiasociety.org">Asia Society</a> with support from <a href="https://www.snf.org/">Stavros Niarchos Foundation</a>.
