Ep 22 : #ESEAEats with Anna Chan from Asian Leadership Collective

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

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!)

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 10 : It's a Man's World (with Ying Wan Loh)

Ying Wan Loh is an award-winning engineer who works on phenomenal Rolls-Royce engines. We are talking about culture shock as an international student in Glasgow, busting stereotypes and dealing with microaggressions in the workplace. As an East Asian woman succeeding in engineering and manufacturing sectors, Ying is stamping out so many bad stereotypes and setting new standards. We love to see it! This episode is part of my celebrations for International Women in Engineering Day which is celebrated on 23rd June every year.

Ep 8: Pride Month Special! BLM, Kpop and Coming Out

Join us for a Pride Month Special! It doesn't feel quite right saying "Happy Pride" when it isn't a happy one with racial tension around the world. In this episode, we talk about Black Lives Matter, Kpop and my friend Dominic (@dominicvin_) shares his coming our stories, including to his Filipina mum. As a mixed race Asian in the LGBT+ community, he sometimes feels like "a minority within a minority within a minority". Dominic shares how he found his community, his top Kpop song recommendations and we ask: why does the Gay community love Lady Gaga?!
