Identity, racism, the relationship with Asian parents - Anna Chen, founder of a community of Asian women living in France, on cultural transmission.
In this episode of The Belonging Project Podcast, we talk with Anna Chen, founder of @etrefemmeasiatique. Anna is a French born Chinese living in Paris, France. In 2020, she launched @etrefemmeasiatique, a vibrant Instagram community of Asian women living in France. She shares her experience as an Asian woman living in France. She talks about her struggles and inspirations about identity, racism, the relationship with Asian parents, the generational gap, cultural transmission and being a daughter of immigrants. She gathered a thriving community of Asian women who feel heard and seen.
In this episode, we talk about:
🔸 Growing up in France as the child of immigrant Chinese parents
🔸 Microagressions
🔸 Positive stereotypes can be as damaging
"To feel that you belong you need to be able to see that who you are is accepted entirely. You don't feel that you need to stretch yourself to feel that you belong. You don't need to fulfil somebody else’s expectations.", says Anna.
