Striving for Mediocrity

West Village

The pressure to be perfect isn't just exhausting, it's a trap. This talk unpacks how the "model minority" myth harms Asian Americans, reinforces anti-Black racism, and gets under our skin from the earliest stages of life. A rare chance to explore identity and intergenerational trauma through a psychoanalytic lens, with Continuing Education credits available.
