This week we are so privileged to be able to publish this episode where we speak to the incredibly prolific Vice UK Executive Editor and author of the ‘Forgotten Women’ book series, Zing Tsjeng. In this conversation Zing brings us all the way back to her beginnings in journalism, an industry that seemed inaccessible at the time. She talks to us about getting to your dreams in a systematic way, by putting in the work and growing personally and professionally within the roles that shifted from Fashion journalism to writing about politics and lifestyle for major publications such as Vice and The Guardian. Zing has such a wealth of experience to speak through with us, she continually brings in her learnings throughout the years. And if you have ambitions in journalism, broadcast or presenting you’ll be getting the jackpot in inspiration with this episode. We also speak about how, as an East Asian journalist, she is about to stay in touch with the the news that we've been facing while also giving herself a healthy amount of mental clarity and headspace. Can you believe she’s not 22?!FORGOTTEN WOMEN: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zing-Tsjeng/e/B077R13S9M%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share_Follow us__Instagram: @riceisricepodTwitter: @riceisrice_pod_Follow Zing__Instagram: miss_zingTwitter: @misszingRice is Rice presents NO MORE "QUIET ASIAN" charity livestream, 24th April 2021

In this episode we have the pleasure to be able to talk to Jenny Lau, the Founder and Chief Peach of Celestial Peach which is a platform that explores veganism, eating for longevity and to reconnect with parts of your inherited identity via Chinese food. The joys (and by that we definitely mean PAINS) of remote recording during a pandemic meant that Jem couldn’t be a part of this episode but if you missed her on this one keep watching out for our weekly episodes as she’ll be back for the next ones for sure! Even with a third of the Rice is Rice team sabotaged by their own Wi-fi, the conversation with Jenny Lau was a breeze and we touched on so many subjects, from the physical healing powers that are somewhat innate in the practices of Chinese cooking and eating, to how food relates and adds to our lived-experience. Food can be nostalgic, it can be political, always deeply personal but also extremely fluid and adaptable. If you’re interested in how food impacts us as a diasporic community, listen to this episode and enjoy!

A non-judgemental platform brought to you by the women behind BAM & Beyond. In this podcast, we will open up about our experiences as British East Asian women, in hopes to empower fellow Asian girls to speak up and have more of those ‘difficult conversations’ with others! Expect us to get real personal, real quick - shamelessly, and unapologetically.

This episode we explore the experiences of going to school as a British East Asian.School is something the mass majority of us have been through and have fond memories of favourite subjects, teachers and childhood friends. There is however the many challenges which come with identity when going to school as a British East Asian. The realisation that you are different from the other kids around you comes very early on as does the experience of racism and stereotyping, direct or subtle. There is also the responsibility to uphold your values and represent your culture as a model minority all whilst trying to fit in and score that A grade. As ESEA we are not just any minority but the minority minority which comes with differences out of our control and it's not just the way we look which is different to our peers, but the way we live, particularly the environment we go home to. The challenge of cultural dynamic and social interaction at school vs at home is it's own juggling act and the source of a widely experienced social disconnect that doesn't prepare many of us for the 'real world'. As western society remains at the front door, so does the learning and application of it. Socials: https://www.instagram.com/crazybritasianAsian RecommendationYear of the OX - https://www.youtube.com/c/YEAROFTHEOXKorean American Hip Hop Duo based in LA who have two impactful songs about the rise of xenophobia and asian hate crime during the pandemic.

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 being a British East Asian; from family life, to work, dating, relationships, food, racism, and general culture. In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Nick. We talk about finding your community as a gender fluid person. What gender fluidity means, being Chinese, how LGBT is STILL illegal in Malaysia (WTF), how genderising starts from a very young age, from phrases such as ‘boys will be boys’. How terms like ‘man up’, ‘being a pussy’ harms us all, unpicking habits in our daily life that harm LGTBQ+ people, I found out that Miley Cyrus is gender fluid, JK Rowling’s rhetoric on the trans community, mental health, similarities between being a painter decorator and makeup, and most importantly, celebrating being gender fluid. Nick also gives great advice that applies to all of us: be kind and listen.

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. This week, I had the most glorious time speaking to the award winning Actor, Director, Musician, Writer, Daniel York Loh. His passion and activism as a British East Asian actor is admirable. Basically, HE’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL in this world and has done/is doing incredible things to disrupt the narrative that British culture holds surrounding being East Asian. We talk about racism in the theatre world, how people view Asians as one monolithic block (hey, not ALL of us eat dogs, you know…wink), why the term ‘Oriental’ is not okay. My favourite part was right at the end when I asked Daniel about his proudest moment in his career. His response actually gave me goosebumps - it’s really lovely and shows his true integrity as a British East Asian actor. He is writing and producing a Zoom digital arts event called WeRNotVirus (the live show on 13th/14th June is sold out but will be available as a video afterwards). It will be a collective of leading actors, writers, directors and creatives of East and South East Asian heritage from the UK’s performing arts industry to present a new digital arts event. “This urgent artistic response aims to shine a light on the surge in hate crime directed towards the community during the Covid-19 crisis.” Enjoy!!

Identity, performance and globalisation are at the heart of the cultural practices interrogated by Amanda Rogers in Performing Asian Transnationalisms: Theatre, Identity and the Geography of Performance (Routledge, 2015).The book explores the global networks of theatre that have emerged between Asia, America and Europe, using a variety of policy, practice and political examples. The book argues that globalisation, and the attendant transnational flows of people and culture, has both the potential to create theatre careers and new, important, works, whist at the same time constraining individuals, communities and cultural forms. The book draws on a rich combination of ethnographic and interview data, along with theoretically informed cultural analysis, using examples ranging from The British Council and the Singapore Art Festival, through Asian American and British East Asian identities, to controversial performances of theOrphan of Zhao. The book will be of primary interest to cultural,geography and performance scholars, but has valuable insights for social science and the humanities more generally. Learn more about your ad choices.
