Equipped with a law degree, an internship from the BBC White City in TV script writing and film production, plus certification as an ESL teacher, and still only in her 20s, Zoe Popham headed for Thailand for adventure, and to teach English. Serendipitously, she knew an English guy working in Bangkok on a film and he invited her to work with him. The realization that there was international production work in Thailand, led to a job opportunity with an Indian-Thai production company that made TV commercials for India. Over the next 18 years, Zoe worked her way up in the industry, but after a nearly 2-decade career in Asian TV commercial, news and feature film production and post-production, in 2015 she relocated to Portugal in search of a more balanced and healthy lifestyle for herself, and her young son.

Black Girl Seoul is a podcast hosted by two African American women.  Although the podcast's primary focus is on Asian TV and film, we never want to ignore the other facets of our lives, including our race.  In this episode Something Else and Song Rae discuss racial identity, police brutality, our experiences with racism, and generational trauma.  

Zhen Huan continues to turn her attention to her biggest enemy in the Imperial Harem, the Empress. She needs to destroy the Empress's remaining power in the Palace, her adoptive son the 3rd Prince. Zhen Huan and her faction are forced to make sacrifices along the way as they devise plans against the Empress. Will they succeed?

The Empress Dowager passes away which means the Empress loses a crucial ally. She needs to find ways to secure her own faction.

Gender expression is often taught to us through things like TV shows, school uniform rules, or conversation with our parents. But when you grow up in between two different cultures, it can mean you’re exposed to double the stereotypes and expectations! Today we take a blast to the past to observe the various gender roles we’ve picked up through our favorite Asian dramas and celebrities, and explore how these portrayals translate to female empowerment and LGBTQ acceptance in society and our families. Our guest, Karen, is a fellow podcast host of her own show Mx. Asian-American, where she explores the Asian-American experience in all aspects of life. Check out the episode that Crystal and I did on Karen's podcast (ep#24 - East vs. West with Crystal and Jeesoo)! Follow Eat Your Crust Pod on IG! @eatyourcrustpod Follow Mx.

"Are you ready to step up, speak up and make an impact, but not sure exactly how?  It's time to step into the gift you have been given and harness the Power of The Only." - Angela Chee Welcome to the first episode of The Power Of The Only. I'm celebrating International Women's Day, a global day to celebrate the achievements of women with the launch of my podcast. But this show is not just for or about women. I believe all of us can relate to being the only and learn from “The Onlys”- those breaking through barriers, defying the odds and creating positive change. I've put a lot of time, thought, energy and love into this podcast and I hope that it serves you. What is the power of the only? What called me to start this movement? In episode #1 I will share the story behind the podcast, a little more about me, what you can expect and learn from the show and I will also share my “5 Power Of The Only” Principles and more about how you can apply them to your business and life. These principles have helped me harness the Power of The Only and each week we will continue to explore this conversation. It all started last year when  I was preparing for a new keynote. I was reviewing the latest Women In The Workforce reports by Lean In and McKinsey and it said while there has been some progress in representation of women in senior leadership, women still continue to be underrepresented at almost every level and women of color are the most underrepresented group of all. But what it also said is that too few women leads to too many “Onlys”, women who are the only or one of the only women in the room. It says being an only is not only challenging, but their power and voice gets drowned out and they have a significantly worse experience. While I agree it sometimes may be more difficult, I believe there is power in being the only and we have so much to learn from the onlys that have navigated their way to success. I believe the challenges that onlys go through is the power-it gives you a deeper understanding, a different perspective and strength that all leaders can benefit from. I've always been an only. The only Chinese girl in my neighborhood growing up, the only Asian TV reporter at a station, the only woman speaker at a conference. Being an only was not a weakness it was my strength. Yes, we still need organizations to shift, we need a culture transformation for real change to happen, But what about in the meantime? Not just in corporate, but in the rest of society? Knowing I'm the only gives me power. But at the same time I don't focus on it. The truth is many times I don't notice. I'm at the table because I deserve to be there and so do you. Once I'm there that's when the power of the only shows up.  Power to have diversity of thought, power to plant the seed, power to be a translator for others who don't have a voice, power to bring other “Onlys” into the conversation, until one day, there will be no more talk about being the only. But how do you turn being “The Only” from a weakness into a strength? And what can all of us learn from the onlys that will help you thrive in your business and life? That is what we are going to explore….. So while the term only started as women “onlys.” I believe many of us can relate to being the only. Have you ever felt like the only one? The only person in your company, industry, community or the only one in the room reaching for your unique dreams and vision? There is a lot happening in our world. A shift is happening, we can feel it. But at times it may also feel like we are going backward. It's time for new conversations - new voices and a bolder way of thinking. Call it innovation, disruption, diversity! It's what our world needs, it's what our businesses need and it's what you need to step into your leadership. "That is what the power of the only is all about!" - Angela Chee I want to share my 5 principals of The Power the only that have helped me achieve my goals and thrive. Throughout the podcast we will continue to explore these principals as we interview trailblazing entrepreneurs, C-suite leaders, filmmakers, diversity experts, coaches, speakers, publishers maybe even a few celebrities. Are they the same? Are they different? We will ask these questions and more as we dive deeper into The Power Of The Only. "OWN YOUR POWER." - Angela Chee For now here are my 5 Principles of The Power Of The Only: Own your power Own your voice See being the only as a privilege not a burden Communicate in a way others can hear you Come from a place of abundance not scarcity What does this all mean and how can it impact your life?  Tune into the podcast to find out more. If you would like a free copy of these Power Of The Only principles and a Clarity and Vision worksheet to help apply them in your business and life click here to get access. In upcoming episodes I'll also share my advice and resources from my 20 plus years in the broadcasting, entertainment and speaking industries and answer any questions you may have. I may even coach a few of you during the show. Let me topics would you like to hear more about. Or Any Only's you would like me to feature? I'd love to hear from you. Remember you are not alone. It's time to come together. Thanks for being a part of this bold and powerful conversation on The Power of The Only! Whether you feel like the only one in your company, industry or community or the only woman in the room, we're here to support you in stepping up, speaking up through power, presence and representation and to make an impact in your personal and professional life. You can also join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter.

Simon's live report for pan-Asian TV network CNA.  The presenters are Steve Lai and Glenda Chong.

All this talk about women's empowerment, but is it really making a difference? The latest Women in the Workforce report by Lean In and McKinsey and Company says, “No!” It's not making a meaningful impact, at least not in corporate. But what about the rest of society? With the #metoo movement, a record number of women serving in the House, and a historic number of women running for President, more voices are out there.  But, are people really listening?  Drowning In Women's Voices? Why do we feel like we're drowning in women's voices, yet we still feel uncertain if anyone is really hearing us or if it will make a difference? A shift is happening, we can feel it.  But at times it may also feel like we are going backward. So what's the problem?  Women are working harder, they've been leaning in, so why not the progress we expected? Yes, we need organizations to shift, we need men in the conversation, we need a culture transformation for real change to happen,  But what about in the meantime? The report also says too few women leads to too many “Onlys”, women who are the only or one of the only women in the room.   It says being an only is challenging, their power and voice gets drowned out and they have a significantly worse experience. There Is Power In Being "The Only" While I agree it may be more difficult, I believe there is power in being the only. My whole life I have been the only, the only Chinese girl in my neighborhood growing up, the only Chinese girl in school, the only Asian TV reporter at a station, the only Asian speaker at conferences…… Knowing I'm the only gives me power.  But at the same time I don't focus on it.  The truth is many times I don't notice. I'm at the table because I deserve to be there and so do you.  Once I'm there that's when the power of the only shows up.   Power to have diversity of thought, power to plant the seed, power to be a translator for others who don't have a voice, power to bring other “Onlys” into the conversation, until one day, there will be no more talk about being the only. But how do you turn being “The Only” from a weakness into a strength?  What can we learn from the onlys that will help you achieve your goals, thrive and create real change?  While many consider “onlys” women.  I believe many of us can relate to being the only regardless of gender.   What are the lessons learned from those breaking barriers, defying the odds and making positive change? That's what I'm exploring. For now here are my 5 principles of The Power Of The Only. Own your power-Know who you are, what you stand for and know you belong there. You have everything you need inside you. Own your voice-You need to speak up, stand up and share your opinions with certainty, without need for validation. See being “The Only” as a privilege, not a burden.-No, you don't stand for everyone and yes, it's not your sole responsibility.  But right now you have the opportunity, the opportunity to share, to educate, to enlighten, and open up the window for understanding and take a seat at the table.  It's a privilege. Do not waste your gift. Communicate in a way others can hear you.  Know your audience, know what you want, listen with an open heart and integrate. Once they can see you and trust you, then they can really hear you. Come from a place of abundance, not scarcity.  Yes, you are “the only” right now and the way to grow and succeed is not to maintain your status/power by keeping other only's out.  But to plant seeds, bring others in, and carve a new path for others to follow. It's time to step up into the gift you were given. Are you ready for the challenge and to take on the power of the only? You are not alone. It's time to come together. Have you ever experienced the feeling of being the only?  [Tweet "Have you ever felt like "the only" one? You're not alone. But there is power in being the only!

(This appeared in Rick Lazio's Ignite Blog back in July of 2011 . . . I reread it and liked it, so I thought I would repost it.) MATHLESSNESS - AMERICA’S FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM by Frazer Rice. Modern Americans are largely innumerate. They are, to borrow Richard Posner’s felicitous phrase, “mathless”- most can’t use or judge the effects of numbers. Such ignorance would be of little concern, except that math permeates everything and ignorance of it imperils both America and Americans. For example, mathless Americans can’t understand or interpret statistics popularly discussed in the media, thereby disabling their ability critically to assess what’s reported. Nor can they comprehend the scale of the numerical problems addressed in government budgets, leaving them to the not-so-tender mercies of craven politicians funding government programs through deficit spending. Most importantly, mathless Americans lack the quantitative tools to prosper financially and avoid bad investments, critical skills of self-reliance in a non-welfare state. If you want to see this in action, watch a lawyer try to equitably divide the bill and calculate a tip at a nice restaurant. It takes twenty minutes and they usually have to consult an accountant … by phone. Consider the millions of people who bought houses they couldn’t afford. Cautionary tales abound about people making $50k/year who were living in $400K houses that are now in foreclosure. The analysis exposing such folly isn’t rigorous: Assume (optimistically) after-tax income of $37,000, or $3,125 per month, that the buyer paid 10% of the purchase price ($400,000) at closing, which leaves $360,000 remaining. With an interest-only mortgage of 5% (historically low, but a reasonable figure), the buyer pays at least $1,500 in monthly interest, which is nearly half his or her take-home pay (you do get to deduct the interest, but you don’t see that until the following year). The above scenario is unmercifully tight, especially if income taxes or the cost of living increases and/or income declines. Financial common sense bristles at such a position. Unfortunately, most Americans lack such common sense. And that is the core of the problem: math can help lead logical decision-making by spelling out future realities that predatory lenders’ hawking teaser rates don’t want you to consider.

(This appeared in Rick Lazio's Ignite Blog back in July of 2011 . . . I reread it and liked it, so I thought I would repost it.) MATHLESSNESS - AMERICA’S FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM by Frazer Rice. Modern Americans are largely innumerate. They are, to borrow Richard Posner’s felicitous phrase, “mathless”- most can’t use or judge the effects of numbers. Such ignorance would be of little concern, except that math permeates everything and ignorance of it imperils both America and Americans. For example, mathless Americans can’t understand or interpret statistics popularly discussed in the media, thereby disabling their ability critically to assess what’s reported. Nor can they comprehend the scale of the numerical problems addressed in government budgets, leaving them to the not-so-tender mercies of craven politicians funding government programs through deficit spending. Most importantly, mathless Americans lack the quantitative tools to prosper financially and avoid bad investments, critical skills of self-reliance in a non-welfare state. If you want to see this in action, watch a lawyer try to equitably divide the bill and calculate a tip at a nice restaurant. It takes twenty minutes and they usually have to consult an accountant … by phone. Consider the millions of people who bought houses they couldn’t afford. Cautionary tales abound about people making $50k/year who were living in $400K houses that are now in foreclosure. The analysis exposing such folly isn’t rigorous: Assume (optimistically) after-tax income of $37,000, or $3,125 per month, that the buyer paid 10% of the purchase price ($400,000) at closing, which leaves $360,000 remaining. With an interest-only mortgage of 5% (historically low, but a reasonable figure), the buyer pays at least $1,500 in monthly interest, which is nearly half his or her take-home pay (you do get to deduct the interest, but you don’t see that until the following year). The above scenario is unmercifully tight, especially if income taxes or the cost of living increases and/or income declines. Financial common sense bristles at such a position. Unfortunately, most Americans lack such common sense. And that is the core of the problem: math can help lead logical decision-making by spelling out future realities that predatory lenders’ hawking teaser rates don’t want you to consider. Lotteries, casinos and the investment banks thrive in part because Americans can’t or don’t want to think about math.
