EP 616: Congresswoman Grace Meng On Faith, Family & Politics
Episode 616
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
What does it take to stay grounded in politics when you're constantly balancing humility with visibility, Queens with Capitol Hill, and faith with public duty? In this episode, Congresswoman Grace Meng joins us for an candid reflection on her journey from a Queens childhood to becoming one of the most prominent Asian American leaders in Congress. We step away from the headline soundbites to explore the foundational stories of her life: the sacrifices her parents made that she only fully understood as an adult, the spiritual discipline required to remain humble in Washington, and how being a mom fundamentally changes the way she views leadership and bipartisanship. It's an intimate look at the human behind the public servant—and a reflection on what keeps her fighting for her community after more than a decade in office.
