Growing up with the weight of cultural expectations and the challenge of adapting to new environments can shape one's path in unexpected ways. Dr. Esther Castillo's journey from Macau, China, to the United States is a testament to resilience and adaptation. As an immigrant and mental health advocate, Esther opens up about the discrimination she faced, which steered her away from journalism into the realm of sociology. Her story sheds light on the often-overlooked issues within academia regarding race and diversity, particularly during her time as a visiting professor. With heartfelt honesty, she shares the trials of navigating her professional journey amidst societal and institutional challenges.
Esther and I emphasize the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health within the Asian community, particularly for women. Our discussion touches on the skills developed from past traumas, both a boon and a burden and the role mindfulness plays in nurturing wellness. We conclude with a call to foster empathy and intergenerational understanding, recognizing that the journey toward mental wellness and community healing is ongoing and collective.
