In a previous Instagram story, we did a poll to see what kind of topics were of interest to our audience. Most recently, it was navigating the complexities of the east and west, which can be broken down into so many subtopics. One that I thought could be relatable was Asian parenting and how our role in our Asian families made us into who we are. For those that don’t know, Jane is a twin. Emily is an only child. I myself am the youngest of two.

We all grew up with different versions of Asian parenting, but all found ourselves ending up either living or working in the east and the west. While we all ended up in Singapore at one point, there is definitely an overlapping thread on the kind of personality that is able to move overseas for work.
