Jingsi: Out and Proud
Coming out isn't always an easy experience, and for some Asian countries and cultures, queerness is stigmatized not just on a systemic level but also within the home. How do you strike a balance between making your parents happy but also ensuring that you're staying true to who you are and owning your sexuality? In this episode, we speak to Jingsi who identifies as bisexual and demisexual to get a glimpse into her life as a member of the LGBTQAI+ community in Guangzhou, China. From (childhood) crushes to her coming out story, and her eventual involvement in PFLAG China—an NGO that serves and supports LGBT people and their families—we find out what being out and proud means for Jingsi.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Ellison: Majority-Minority Dilemma
If we're lucky, some of us might go through life without having to experience racism. But for most of us who've moved away from our home countries, we do so with the knowledge that racism is just around the corner. This change in your social positioning can be quite jarring and disorienting if you've been privileged enough to have belonged to the majority group for most of your life. It might make you question how complicit you've been to racism back home. How do you deal with the feelings of guilt and shame that arise while trying to take care and heal from the violence and fear you feel in your new home? In this episode, we speak to Ellison Tan, a Singaporean-Chinese actor, about this dilemma. She moved from Singapore to London at the height of COIVD-19 and the subsequent anti-Asian hate, the latter of which she had to deal with in London<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Anirudh: Staying Rooted
For many third culture kids, finding a way to stay rooted to their culture and feel a sense of belonging to their home country can be difficult. Not only were many of them raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their home country, but they might have also lived in a different environment during their childhood. In this episode, we speak to Anirudh to find out how he creates anchors to pull and keep him close to his culture in a way that still feels authentic.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
