Podcast appearances and mentions of connie lim

On June 24th 2022 the Supreme Court decided Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturning Roe v Wade and asserting that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion. The decision marked a seismic moment in politics and culture that has affected everyone's lives, and the world of pop music is no exception. Musicians started responding immediately, from Cher to Olivia Rodrigo: on social media, at their shows, and in their music. Critic Ann Powers has been chronicling the reactions in a running list at NPR, and she joins in the second half of the episode to talk about the long history of artists speaking out—and singing—about reproductive rights.  One artist who wasted no time responding to the Dobbs decision is the singer and songwriter Connie Lim, aka MILCK. Her song “We Won't Go Back,” composed with Biianco, Autumn Rowe, and Ani DeFranco, came about after Politico published an article in May with the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision, telling the world in no uncertain terms that the Supreme Court was considering striking down Roe. MILCK found herself protesting in D.C., this time with her camera ready. The chants she heard there became the first sonic element of “We Won't Go Back.” Songs Discussed MILCK, Biianco, Autumn Rowe, Ani DeFranco - We Won't Go Back MILCK - Quiet Ani DeFranco - Play God  Poison Girls - Mandy Is Having a Baby Cyndi Lauper - Sally's Pigeons Leslie Gore - You Don't Own Me Robyn - Giving You Back Joni Mitchell - Little Green L7 - Pretend We're Dead Everlast - What It's Like Madonna - Papa Don't Preach Lauryn Hill - To Zion Megan Thee Stallion - Plan B Learn more about your ad choices.

Connie Lim (aka MILCK) is a singer-songwriter, producer, and esteemed advocate for human rights. Beyond her talent, the most remarkable thing about MILCK is her ability to showcase her principles within her craft, which is something we explore in-depth within today's bonus episode. I'll be honest, this is a conversation that left me deeply affected, especially our exploration of the ‘why'; why do we have principles and why do we feel compelled to share them with the world?

Have you ever asked yourself: “Who am I? What do I stand for?” Many of us do ask these questions and when we do, it can be a catalyst that sets us on an alternative path - even though we know it might disappoint those around us. Yet, all too often, even when our inner knowing is forcing us to pay attention, life can pull us in the direction of expectations versus desire. We hesitate to follow our curiosity for fear we might let down our family and loved ones. As a result, we stay on course towards what “we're supposed to do”. But it doesn't always have to be this way. Sometimes choosing the new path is just what we need to honor our voice, culture and family. This is why I'm excited to share this conversation with Connie Lim, whose artist name is MILCK for this Best Of Conversation. MILCK rose to widespread attention after a video of an a capella performance of her song "Quiet" on the street at the 2017 Women's March exploded into the public's consciousness going viral and becoming embraced as an anthem for the movement. That moment and the impact and reach of the song led to a major record deal and collaborations as a songwriter that launched the career she's been working to build for years. But that career almost never happened. MILCK grew up in an enclave of LA, the child of immigrants from China, and was drawn to music from her earliest days. She wrote her first song at 7 years old and studied classical piano and opera. Yet the pressure of intense perfectionism and the expectation she'd eventually leave music behind to follow the family tradition into medicine led her into years of profound emotional struggle. Eventually, she hit a point in college where she decided it was time to choose herself over the expectations of others, as well as the burden of perfectionism that had caused so many years of suffering and harm. MILCK left college and went all-in on music, performing as an independent artist for years, slowly building her name, before that fateful day in 2017 that changed everything. She's now deep into writing, producing and performing her own work, while also writing with and for other artists and focusing on not just sharing her own creative voice, but also gathering community and shining the light on truth and inequity along the way.You can find MILCK at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Justin Tranter about their journey through challenging times as a kid growing up and then stepping into the world of music - first as a musician, and then as a powerhouse songwriter and collaborator.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book Sparked | My New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.Little Stories Everywhere See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Grab your scuba gear, cuz this episode has no lack of depth! As a survivor of sexual assault, domestic abuse, anorexia, and depression, our guest, Connie Lim, who goes by stage name: Milck, has had quite a journey getting here. She shares her story as an Asian-American, a feminist, a musician, and a human being who has been repressed and censored for too long. When her song, “Quiet”, broke the silence in 2017, and not only became the anthem Women's March that year, but also garnered 8 million views in two days on social media, she was thrust into a whirlwind of publicity. In this episode we explore how her music has powerfully transformed, not only her own life, but also the lives of all who dare to hear it's truth. Milck says her songs are “about helping people who have felt silenced reclaim their power.”, and we couldn't agree more; Hers are songs of empowerment and cathartic healing for the displaced and brokenhearted. Through full-on vulnerability and beautifully articulated insights, Connie shares a bit of her own MAJic with us here. We are honored to share more than her music with you through this interview.

Connie Lim (aka MILCK) had a long love affair with cigarettes, even though she knew it was unhealthy—and a serious risk to her career as a singer. And like so many bad relationships, when it came time to break up, she found she couldn’t do it cleanly. It took a few tries, a few rebounds, and a whole lot of frustration. Once she made it to the other side, though, she realized why she’d needed cigarettes in the first place.Hosted by Maeve Higgins. Brought to you by Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine.

Welcome to the Emerging Women podcast, where we hear from brilliant women leaders creating big change in the world. I’m Chantal Pierrat, your host, and today we have a podcast from a very special guest who raised the roof at our last Emerging Women Live event with her powerful song-writing, story-telling and movement-making. Today’s guest is MILCK, aka Connie Lim, the artist behind the goosebump-inducing anthem “Quiet,” which captured the nation, and the world, when she premiered it with a live chorus in flashmob form at the 2017 Women’s March. Her song has since gone viral reaching over 15 million listeners all around the world. In this episode, MILCK shares her lifelong journey from people-pleaser to truth-teller, and how she has personally worked her edge and overcome challenges to finally feel comfortable expressing the truth of who she is to the world. We hear first-hand how she came to organize an incredibly impactful moment-turned-movement, rather than succumb to industry pressures to monetize the release of the single. And hear MILCK’s perspective on how speaking out can play a healing role in transforming shame and self-blame, both for self and for others. It’s all a part of the Emerging Women ethos, so let’s dive in and hear it from the singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and choir-builder herself. Welcome to “Can’t Keep Quiet” with MILCK.

Connie Lim, who writes and records as MILCK (a combination of her last name backwards and her first two initials) makes music for anyone who feels out of place in the world. They're songs of empowerment and cathartic healing for the displaced and brokenhearted. It's a kind of thesis or mission statement MILCK first declared on her anthemic hit "Quiet," the song that blew up after she performed it with a group of a cappella singers at last year's Women's March in Washington, D.C. "It's about helping people who have felt silenced reclaim their power," she says. In the year since releasing "Quiet," MILCK has signed with Atlantic Records and just released her debut EP, This Is Not The End. On this edition of All Songs Considered she talks with All Songs Considered co host Robin Hilton about the new music, her struggle to make it as a musician while preserving her Chinese American identity, how courage and truth can lead to widespread healing and much more.

How can women be mothers, and leaders, and scientists all at the same time? What if those categories don't apply? Does the concept of motherhood need to adapt to our changing world? Go back to that feeling, walking together at the Women's March. Take that with you as you go off into the world. MiLCK’s song “Quiet” narrates this episode, recorded live in February 2017 in Toronto with Choir!Choir!Choir!, C!C!C! Original theme music by Gabriel Corindia. Quiet by MiLCK with Choir!Choir!Choir!
