Episode 27: From the Bay to LA with Nico Blitz

In this episode we interview Filipino American DJ, host, MC, and producer, Nico Blitz. Some of you may know him as the DJ from Twitch and Tik Tok as he is a Twitch Partner and streaming DJ. He created and hosts the Lunch Table series on YouTube, is a DJ and Producer for the BootlegKevShow, as well as a host for Myxglobal. He has two podcasts out, @NicoBlitzPodcast and @MexipinoPodcast. In this episode we have a special guest co-hosting. Her name is Shannin and she is an up and coming Filipina DJ in the Bay Area. Shannin and Salena sat down with Nico to discuss everything from the growth of his career in radio, streaming and content creation, to his family, music and DJing, as well as food and culture. We are truly inspired by Nico’s story and we hope this episode brings inspiration to you as well. Enjoy!

Episode 22: #StopAsianHate w/ Minji, Andrew (Boba Guys), Ashley, & Christina

In response to the violent exhibition of racism, xenophobia, and hate crimes towards Asians in America, Kollab SF hosted a #StopAsianHate fishbowl conversation with some of our friends on Twitch (twitch.tv/kollabsf). Moderated by Kollab SF staff Ray Wong and Adrian Chen, we discussed the history as well as our own experiences of anti-Asian sentiment and aggressions in this country. Our guests also go over what actionable next steps you and allies can take to stand up for the APIDA community.

Guests include Andrew Chau (IG: @bobaguys), Minji Chang (IG: @minjeezy), Ashley Judilla (IG: @winteeer_solstice), and Christina Kieu (IG: @christina_kieu).
