Ep7. Zelda Solomon: Embracing Hybridity

Today's guest is writer and performer Zelda Solomon, Co-Founder of theatre company 'Sexy Asians in Your Area'. Our conversation is a bit longer than my others, only because we spoke for hours and it became impossible to narrow it down. We chatted about hybridity and the role that plays in Asian identity, as well as working through your own understanding of yourself versus other's interpretation of that, and the importance of friends and heroes in that process. Zelda is fab, as is Sexy Asians in Your Area, and I would thoroughly recommend checking out more of their work.If you like these please give it a review and a rating! Mostly for my self-esteem but also for #progress.Thank you to Ally and Heli Shilson for the music, and to Sophie Kamlish for the beautiful artwork. Hosted on Acast.

Hello, I am Lucy Hicks Beach, and I want to find out how people of marginalised genders have shaped the people we are and the world we live in. To do this, I am talking to some of the most interesting people around about the women and non-binary people who have shaped them. Each guest picks an influential figure from one of five categories: Someone they know personally, someone they've never met, someone who is no longer alive, a childhood or teenage icon and a fictional character. Ally and Helena Shilson have composed the celestial tunes throughout!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
