The First Gen Podcast

Diana goes to the hospital, Miche pees, and we chat about life. Miche is starting a startup called Pivot, and Diana is vibing after leaving the hospital.

recorded at Izakaya Kou in the Fillmore, Diana and Miche talk about their recent experiences with (other peoples) dirty apartments. Truly an epidemic. We are joined by Diana’s close friend, Ciara. :) Our talk got cut off around 30 minutes in, but we hope you enjoy this snippet of our chat!

Solo reflection on a drive to LA. Sometimes when I feel like depression has gotten better, I forget to practice and I can spiral into judgement and anxiety.

Diana and I share stories of our Chinese family history, our Chinese names, and the feeling that we never could have shared this with anyone else. It’s beautiful and it’s here wrapped up for you. Listen to hear us talk about what it’s like to learn about our family histories, while growing up in a country that erased it all. and worse... perpetrated systems of racism against our people.

it’s lunar new year! d and i talk about tattoos, social media waves recently about attacks on Asian elders in the Bay Area, Bling Empire (Asian Jersey Shore imo), and how much we hate the crazy rich asians trope.
