  • Ep 22 : #ESEAEats with Anna Chan from Asian Leadership Collective
    The annual #ESEAEats celebrations are here for November!
    #ESEAEats (East and Southeast Asian Eats) is an 11K+ Instagram hashtag and engaged community of chefs, small businesses, influencers, food enthusiasts and more! The campaign gives a space where ESEA heritage, and lived experiences can be celebrated with storytelling through food.
    The #ESEAEats campaign was launched on Instagram on the 30th November 2020 by two people I'm lucky to call friends! Anna Chan, founder and director of Asian Leadership Collective and Georgie Ma, fellow British Asian podcast host from Chinese Chippy Girl. The campaign highlights the strength and pride of East and Southeast Asian culture, identity, and heritage through food. 
    Tune in to find out the story behind the campaign, how some ESEA creators + activists have connected and how you can get involved.
    I look forward to seeing your #ESEAEats posts on social media, whether that's your next dinner out, takeaway or home-cooked recipe.

  • Ep 21 : - Barnardo’s - Support for Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) in UK
    The UK opened up an immigration route for British nationals in Hong Kong and their close family members, in response to China passing the Nationality Security Law in Hong Kong which restricts the rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong. This immigration route is known as The Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visa, sometimes abbreviated to HK BNO, and launched on 31 January 2021. An estimated 5.4 million Hong Kong residents are potentially eligible, according to Home Office figures. In the first half to 2021, 65,000 Hong Kong nationals arrived in the UK and the government expects around 475,000 to arrive over the coming years.
    In this eye-opening episode, we are hearing first-hand experiences from new arrivals to the UK from the Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) community. Thank you to Mikko Hung who moved to the UK with her family last year and now works as a LINK therapist for Barnardo's, providing support for other migrants.

  • Ep 20 : Disney and Pixar's Turning Red (with interviews from the cast and crew!)

    This episode is all about Disney and Pixar’s all-new original feature film “Turning Red”! I've been so excited about this movie and can't wait to hear what you all think.

    There are a few very special guests featured in this episode....

    You'll hear interview clips from the London movie premiere with lead voice actress Rosalie Chiang who voices Chinese-Canadian teenager Meilin. I'm soo excited to share clips of the one and only Sandra Oh (“The Chair,” “Killing Eve”), who voices Mei's protective if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming . I also had a chance to interview producer Lindsey Collins and director Domee Shi as part of their UK press junket. To round out Ep 20 I am excited to speak to Steph Fung, founder of Asians In Britain, about being part of the Red Carpet Press at the “Turning Red” London premiere 😍

    --------------------------------------------

    Thank you to Media Hive

    Turning Red - Meilin "Mei" Lee is a 13-year-old girl who is torn between being her mother's obedient daughter and the chaos of her youth. As if that were not enough, when she gets too excited, she turns into a big red panda. Out on Disney+ from 11th March 2022.

    • Ep 14 : Sister Tag

      You're in for a treat as I'm sitting down with all 3 of my younger sisters for a #SISTERTAG episode, Did you know that the first Sunday of August is SISTERS DAY? I'm so grateful that I have my younger sisters Jessica, Lauryn and Olivia. We're talking about the meaning behind our names,  after-school tutoring and growing up with Asian parents. We also accidentally get into family trauma and the fights we had growing up. From this episode, I've realised how many childhood memories I've completely forgotten and also how me and my sisters finish each other sentences! Who are your sisters (or sisters from another mister)?

    • Ep 13 : Women of South Korea and how to be Fluent Korean (with MinJu @FluentKorean)
      We are exploring guest MinJu's journey to become more fluent in both Fluent Korean culture and language. As someone who grew up largely in Manila Philippines,  MinJu is keen to learn more about her South Korean roots and shares her research on her FluentKorean website. I learnt so much from our conversation from MinJu's experiences in International School, how learning about Korean culture helps her understand her parents and the terms that Koreans adopt from other languages. A highlight of the conversation is MinJu's research about Gisaeng (or Kisaeng), women who were enslaved sex workers and also very well educated. Who knew?!  This really inspires me to learn more about East and Southeast Asian history, something I learnt nothing about at school! How have you explored the culture and history of your Asian heritage?
