On today’s episode we are joined by a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Dami Im first came onto our screens in 2013 where she went on to win the entire X FACTOR competition.
Despite her CRAZY talented vocal chords, people felt the need to voice their opinion that she did not deserve to win because she looks Chinese (even though she was actually born in South Korea)
When you think of Asian representation in media, how many can you actually think of? Not many right?
So like most Asians in Western countries, we look to Dami because she’s on the forefront of creation representation in mainstream media.
She has even gone on to having a number ONE single and album as well as earning us our highest placement as runner up on Eurovision, where she was watched by more than 200 million people.
In this week’s IN CONVERSATION, Dami opens up about her childhood and how she was one of four Asian kids in her school. She also talks about the racism she faced and her newfound control over her music career.
We hope you enjoy this chat with Dami!
