Award winning podcast* 🥈. Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I've had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad's takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home - it felt confusing at the time as I couldn't find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people.* Silver award at British Podcast Awards 2022 in 'Moment of the Year' category.

S1 Ep12: Where abouts in China are you from? Philippines

My friend and ex colleague Isabel comes on the show. She's Filipino and grew up in the US and Philippines. Now living with her husband Rob and their baby bao (ok - Thalia) in London.

We exchange notes on what we think is important about raising our children with Asian values. We also discuss why Filipino NHS workers are more likely to be at risk of getting Covid-19. And what about people just assuming she is Chinese?🤦‍♀️

And to end on this note, Isabel is just a Superwoman! I had the pleasure of working with Isabel at JustGiving. She is now a Coach and Cofounder of Hack Camp where they run programs that helps people of colour become leaders.
