This week @davidnguyen and @imrantheg sit down with the founders of Banana Mag(@bananamag) Kathleen Tso and Vicki Ho. We discuss how they met, the release of their 5th issue, and the twitter controversy with Ayesha Curry and Constance Wu. Enjoy!

The choice for the name Banana is meant to be an inside joke. For Birthed in Chinatown NYC, Banana strives to navigate through the blurred Eastern and Western boundaries and create a voice for contemporary Asian culture. We want to use the magazine as a platform to feature, celebrate, and join the conversation with Asian creatives in a journey to define our collective identity.
