Convo Comrades

In this Topical Two episode, we talk about religions, why do they exist and why do humans believe in them. We discussed the line between religion and superstitions, along with how we felt about certain cultural practices. Join our conversation and let us know what are your thoughts and beliefs.

Third and final episode with Thanh Pham aka Huyme Productions. After exploring his career as a Youtuber and actor, we talk about his journey into art and about how he sold his first painting ever. We then talk about his passion for football and Manchester United in particular, where despite having never met the team in real life, the time zone differences and of course all the ups and downs, his support for the team remains strong throughout the year, right where Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined the club.

In the second part of our conversation with Thanh (aka Huyme Productions), we talked about his transitions from being a vlogger/Youtuber to becoming an actor. Thanh shared his unique experiences doing casting calls and being on set with several other celebrities. Join us as we discuss these 'secrets' of a celebrity.

We are extremely thrilled to be joined by Thanh Pham (also known as Huyme Productions on Youtube). He will be sharing the ins and outs of his journey into youtube, as well as his transition into becoming an actor. He is also a very talented painter and of course we will be discussing his creativity process and much more! Thanh will be our golden guest for over 3 hours so stay tuned for the next part of the conversation!!

In the second part of this episode, we talk about the harmful effects of social media, including effects on self-esteem, stress, mood, sleep, relationships and loneliness. But let's not forget the good sides, because social media helps us keep in touch with friends and families, especially given the pandemic, helps us promote and market our brands and products and most importantly helps us learn and absorb new ideas and knowledge. Join our discussion and let us know what do you think?

Convo Comrades is back with Season 2! In this Topical Two episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of social media. In the first part, we discuss the difference between platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, Tik Tok, and how we use them individually to maximise their benefits.

What are gay couples' options for having babies? Kien shares his knowledge on the matter to help us answer our questions in this somewhat sensitive topic. Tune in to also listen to the hilarious stories where he first introduced his boyfriend (also a colleague) to his family! Further, having studied a law masters, law practice course and law degree at university in the UK, Kien gives an honest advice for someone who is interested in a law career. He then introduces the most common types of law being Banking law, Civil law, Tort law, and Commercial law. We then talk about the corporate environment and his experience being an open LGBT+ member in the firm.

What are the exact definitions of LGBTQIA, or LGBT+? What is the difference between sexual orientation and sexual identity? What are the things considered offensive to say to someone in the community? What is the purpose of pride parades and are they an effective tool in educating someone outside the community? Join the conversation with our Golden Guest, Kien, as he takes us through these questions and concepts.

We hope these basic knowledge will equip everyone with the willingness and courage to join and contribute to LGBT discussions more openly, which is vital in raising awareness and education in any topic. If you have a friend in the community, we also hope that these basic concepts will enable you to have meaningful conversation with them, whether if they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or Asexual. As always, thank you for tuning in and see you in the next episode.
