We're JttW and we talk about Asian diaspora. In this pre-episode, we jump right in to talk about the new British "comedy" on the BBC, Chinese Burn. Is it truly as bad as people say it is? Yes. Yes it is.

[Jttw #3] Asian Women & Self-Image

Join Vi with special guests Al and Paget for a special collaborative episode of JttW. Listen to us talk about the lack of positive representation for Asian American men and women in media, and sit down with Paget Kagy, the creator of web-series Kat Loves LA, to highlight how the show tackles this problem.

Kat Loves LA Interview

March is International Women's History Month and Women's Day is March 8. We talk about who we consider our role models, the lack of Asian Women in mainstream feminist spaces, teaching ourselves our own histories, and seeking out people to support.

Role Models for Asian Women

A white highschool girl in America posted a photo of her wearing a qipao or cheongsam to prom and caused a twitter storm. It is ok for her to wear it? Is it cultural appropriation? We dissect the situation as Asian diaspora.
