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.

S2 Ep1: ESEA representation in kids books with Maisie Chan

I'm back from my break of podcasting and my first guest of series 2 is Maisie Chan. Maisie is a BBC (British born Chinese) childrens author. She has recently launched 2 books, Danny Chung does not do maths (or Danny Chung sums it up in the US) and Tiger Warrior. Also, Amy wants a pet which is my daughter's favourite book. Maisie also runs Bubble Tea Writers Network that supports and encourages ESEA writers in the UK.

We also talk about a short story called Brian Wong who was never, ever wrong (written by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross) on how the story has used harmful stereotypes to depict the Chinese community. Which is why the ESEA community need better representation to show the real culture and not the negative stereotypes or the model minority myth.
