The Lipstick Gang

Let's talk heritage & cultural identity with mommy vlogger Andrea Wada-Davies


Listen Later

Mommy vlogger, parenting YouTuber, sugar-cookie baker and mum of three, Andrea Wada-Davies seems to have lived at least 9 different lives. Growing up on a potato farm in rural Idaho, she pursued a law career before doing a complete career flip and going into the entertainment industry and pursuing her passion for content creation.

Andrea joins The Lipstick Gang to chat about her unique experience growing up in quiet and rural surroundings on her family's working potato farm. She reminisces about childhood memories from fishing and helping with the potato harvest to driving around the country with her family to watch her dad pull tractors competitively.

As a fourth-generation Japanese-American, Andrea offers honest and sometimes raw insight into the experiences her grandparents, parents and siblings faced growing up as Asian-Americans in a rural part of the United States. We also get into a deep-dive about the challenges of celebrating cultural heritage and racial identity, discussing how we keep our Asian traditions alive and thriving as we raise multi-cultural and mixed-race children (of which, she has three gorgeous little ones).

Finally, Andrea talks about how she started her YouTube channel, her first proper "viral" video, getting the whole family involved and why she loves vlogging so much.
