March 27, 2021 Entry 6 - Generation Y & Z: What we can learn from each other
Dear Diary….
I recently found out that the oldest millennial is turning 40 years old this year and the youngest is turning 24! With this huge age gap, certainly not all of us fit into the stereotypes imposed on us by Boomers and Zoomers (or should I say Gen Z). Although I do wish people would stop thinking that millennials are entitled, lazy or have a bad work ethic. I work really hard to build a future for myself and my family. Being in my late twenties, I’m not quite like the older millennials but also not quite a Gen Z. I know how to work my way around modern technology, but I can't seem to figure out what the teens are saying these days with their slang. I have nothing against Gen Zs. In fact, I believe they are the generation that is most equipped (or will be most equipped) with the tools to solve many of our world issues. Hopefully we can help each other out and make this world a better place for generations to come. I just wish they can stop saying ok boomer to us millennials…

March 12, 2021 Entry 5 - University highs and woes: Reflecting on our University days + tips on how to thrive
POV: Three Asian Canadian women who attended University of Torture, er we mean UofToronto 😅, in the early 2010s, full time, living off campus, commuting every weekday and having close to no social life 🤖 Nbd, just your average friendly nerds who navigated Uni life one—actually multiple—textbooks at a time 📚

This week we are switching it up with a lighter topic. It recently hit us that it’s been an entire decade since we began University 😱 So we decided to talk about our experiences for the first time! Hear us recount awkward moments and firsts, things we regret, failures and triumphs. Along the way, we give our best advice—the kind we wish we had if we could turn back the clock ⏳

February 26, 2021 Entry 4 - Anti-Asian Racism and the Power of Solidarity
In this latest installment on DAM podcast, we revisit the poignant headlines on Anti-Asian hate crimes that heightened since the onset of covid-19. We unpack the significance of the violence inflicted upon these particular bodies and discuss the myriad of ways we, as Asian Canadian women, and our allies, can do to support the Asian community. In doing so, we unearth some of our own truths in our journey for solidarity. As one of the aims of this entry is to invoke critical thinking, we explore the historical ways in which solidarity with BIPOC communities has been an inherent force to be reckoned with, how it continues to be played out in the present and why it is crucial that we must continue to stand in unity well into the future.
