TeaTime

Join us with today's tasting of Dalgona coffee, better known as TikTok coffee. What started out as a "get to know us" episode quickly turned into a 30 minutes discussion about our mixed accents and how they are a part of our identities. To all our international listeners out there or those who code-switch in different environments: we feel you and hope you relate :)

Our drink of choice for episode three was a DIY chai made with cardamom, cinnamon or both. We discussed our thoughts on an article published in The New Yorker by Brooke Jarvis, "Rethinking the Science of Skin," spilled the tea about our personal struggles with skincare, and shared some lessons from our individual journeys. If there's anything to take away from today's episode, it's that SPF is non-negotiable!

Today on Tea Time we skipped the tea to chat with our first guests! Diversify Our Narrative is a student-led initiative based in the US urging for the diversification of literature in English classrooms across all grade levels. They are petitioning school boards to include more works by BIPOC authors about BIPOC experiences to promote anti-racism in education. We got the opportunity to talk with a few of their representatives and learnt so much from them, we hope you can too!

Ellie, Aya, 'Lumi, and Lakshmi drink green tea in today's episode as they try to answer the question- What is the meaning of life? They debate about finding one's purpose, whether humans are good or bad, and much more. Enjoy :)
