Being an East Asian feminist in a racist world

Welcome to But Where Are You From?... A podcast by a late 20-something millennial learning about life as a British Born Chinese. I’m Viv, the host of the podcast. I talk about life as a British Born Chinese (BBC); from family life, to work, dating, relationships, food, racism, and general culture. In this episode I talk about how I had an uncomfortable yet productive conversation with my mum surrounding Black Lives Matter. Dating as a feminist, How LinkedIn is racist, my experiences of casual racism at work, how asian societal pressure from our family plays into feminism, such getting married, obtaining a good job, being slim, but also eating enough food when told too lol.  Links to what we discussed: Over the Moon Trailer https://www.netflix.com/title/80214236 A really interesting article of Asian Feminism: https://planamag.com/what-does-asian-feminism-mean-to-me/ BBC Woman's Hour https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007qlvb Slide into my DMs and keep the conversation going! https://www.instagram.com/vivthediv/ Jingle by the talented John Clapper: https://www.instagram.com/john_clapper
