Welcome back to "The Cilia Li Show"! It's Season 3 baby!
I wanted to kick off this new season with a heart to heart conversation with my brother- an episode to get to know me on a personal level.
In this episode, my brother and I got vulnerable. Like REALLY vulnerable. We spoke about the bad experiences of being a Chinese person in the UK when growing up, how we struggled with our identity and my relationship with my brother.
Expect to see tears. I opened up to my brother about the guilt I have been holding on for years for abandoning him. That was a very healing conversation.
