Why TEN exist?

Despite Canada’s multicultural landscape and the growing visibility of Asian Canadians in media, discussions around love, intimacy, and sexual identity from an East Asian perspective remain limited, often stereotyped, or absent entirely.

  • Many East Asian Canadians navigate conflicting cultural expectations from both their heritage and Canadian society when it comes to romantic relationships, sexual expression, and gender roles.
  • First-generation immigrants often face language, assimilation, and identity barriers, while second-generation individuals frequently deal with intergenerational pressure, racial fetishization, or cultural disconnection.
  • These experiences are rarely covered in mainstream media or dating advice platforms, leading to misunderstanding, shame, and isolation—both within and outside the community.

    • This content gap represents a critical necessity to build a trusted, authentic platform that informs, reflects, and empowers.

    How TEN work?
    • Culturally grounded conversations on love, intimacy, gender, and identity from an East Asian Canadian lens.
    • Podcast episodes that mix real talk, expert insights, and community voices.
    • Written blog posts or short-form video content to engage diverse formats and learning styles.
    • Polls and interviews that explore attitudes, preferences, and generational differences across East Asian Canadian audiences.
      • Who does TEN target?
      • Primary: East Asian Canadians (18–59), especially those navigating cross-cultural dating and identity issues.
      • Secondary: Non-East Asian Canadians interested in dating East Asians or understanding cultural dynamics more deeply (partners, allies, or educators).
      • Tertiary: Scholars, podcasters, or creatives working in diaspora studies, sex education, or media representation.
