Originally from Hong Kong, Charmaine Dominguez is a registered dietitian and wellness professional who specializes in helping clients reverse Type 2 Diabetes and general insulin resistance through plant-focused, whole foods dieting. She is a double graduate of Cal State Long Beach, where she received both her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and her Master's in Public Health.  Charmaine has coached over 1,000 clients into Type 2 Diabetes remission – and helped countless other prevent or manage insulin resistance before it becomes type 2. Her work online has led her to wide acknowledgment as one of the top diabetes-focused creators, including recognitions by medical publications. While blood-sugar tracking has surged in popularity online, Charmaine's approach goes beyond trend. She focuses on whole foods and plant-based nutrition (though not necessarily vegan), emphasizing vitamin-rich, complex carbohydrates that actually improve insulin sensitivity over time.  Charmaine is more than just a content creator – she's also a founder, business owner, and wife. She has scaled her business to include a team of dietitians who work under her to support her rapidly growing client base; her entrepreneurial grit is the core of work in the wellness space online and with her business. Charmaine fluently speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and is conversational in Spanish and Korean.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

The Evergreen
How these two groups help Asian American seniors combat loneliness

The Evergreen

Where do you go to find community when you’re older?    That’s a question OPB’s Winston Szeto wanted to answer, specifically for senior communities of color.    The Yat Sing Music Club was founded in 1942 by Chinese immigrants in Portland, Oregon. The club was started to raise funds for China’s defense against Japan during World War II.    Over 80 years later, Yat Sing preserves Cantonese opera through ongoing rehearsals and community outreach. The club is particularly important for the older generation. This is a space where they can be themselves and celebrate their culture.    There’s a similar experience at Ikoi no Kai, a senior meal program in Portland that opened in 1979. It offers a space for local Japanese Americans coming together over food and connection.    In Oregon, the need for social connection is more important than ever. The latest census data says the state ranks among the highest in the country for residents who report feeling lonely.    OPB’s Winston Szeto researched this topic by looking into these two groups — and why it's important to focus on those rarely covered in the media: seniors.    Check out OPB’s Oregon Experience documentary on the Yat Sing Music Club and story on Ikoi no Kai.    For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Gia Fu is a DJ, record collector, and music producer from Hong Kong. In this episode, she joins Albina Cabrera to explore the invisible bridges between Afro-Caribbean rhythms and the migrant histories of the Chinese diaspora. From her early encounters with Spanish and salsa as a university student to the creation of Canton Mambo, Gia shares a curated songbook that documents tracks referencing China and Asia within Latin music. Drawing from Cantonese heritage, Chinese folk traditions, and the New York salsa scene, Gia reimagines the archive through an affective and decolonial lens. She also reflects on “Lotus,” a composition that blends a traditional Chinese melody with arrangements by Ricky González and Nicky Marrero.

For centuries, scribes across East Asia used Chinese characters to write things down–even in languages based on very different foundations than Chinese. In southern China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam, people used Chinese to read and write–and never thought it was odd. It was, after all, how things were done. Even today, Cantonese speakers use Chinese characters to reflect their dialect with no issues, while kanji remains a key part of Japanese writing. Even in South Korea, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper uses Chinese characters for its title, even as most of Korea has turned to hangul. Zev Handel talks about how classical Chinese came to dominate East Asia in his book Chinese Characters across Asia: How the Chinese Script Came to Write Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese (University of Washington Press, 2025). How do Chinese characters even work? How did Chinese script spread across the region? And what was it like to read and write in a language that you couldn't even speak? Zev Handel is professor of Chinese linguistics in the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington.
