Your School House Rock moment...🤔

A special aspect of The Katie Phang Show is the platform it provided for AANHPI voices & issues.

Our community is underrepresented, undervalued, & often overlooked.

The poster contains some, but not all, of the 100+ AANHPI guests that have appeared on my show.

And I’m just getting started!

Why write? What is the role of a storyteller in a world in crisis? One wise woman sets me straight on a question many of us are asking.

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

HPV Vaccination and Cancer Prevention | ACS The HPV vaccine can protect your child's future because it helps prevent six types of cancer later in life. Find information about HPV vaccination here!

The American Cancer Society, and many other organizations, recommended HPV vaccinations for children.

8 out of 10 UNVACCINATED people will get HPV.

HPV causes 6 cancers.

HPV CAN'T BE TREATED BUT IT CAN BE PREVENTED.

Get your kids vaccinated.

Believe in Science.
