Shoes Off Inside with MKT
Three trailblazing Asian American women in TV journalism and Hollywood join forces to rattle some cages and dismantle tired old stereotypes about race, age, sex and culture. Award-winning journalist May Lee and actresses Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita (a.k.a. MKT) take on topics that aren't often discussed in the most open, authentic and, sometimes, hilarious way because they are unafraid to be fully themselves. They're all 50+ and fabulous so they got nothing to hide and they are beyond the point of caring about what other people think! So take your Shoes Off Inside and join MKT to engage, contribute, challenge and, most importantly, have fun! Lots and lots of FUN!

#52 - COVID-19 VACCINES
The start of 2021 hasn't brought much relief when it comes to COVID-19. Cases are exploding, hospitalizations are rising and deaths are climbing. The light at the end of this dark tunnel, however, is the rollout of vaccines. So far Pfizer and Moderna have received emergency approval and distributed vaccines in the U.S., but it's been slow going. There is, however, another major player that will be joining the fight with a new vaccine. Johnson and Johnson is about to release findings on its phase three clinical trial by the end of January and if all goes well, the one-dose vaccine will be released as early as February. 45-thousand people took part in the phase three clinical trial and May was one of them. She volunteered back in December to help the cause, especially because people of color are often underrepresented in vaccine research. In this episode, May walks us through her experience and talks to Dr. Kenneth Kim of Ark Clinical Research who conducted J&J's trials in Southern California. This is an extremely informative and educational episode!
