When it launched in March 2020, the RepresentAsian Project quickly attracted attention as a voice for the frustrations and joys of being Asian in North America. Its founder, journalist and therapist Madelyn Chung, a second-generation Chinese Canadian, discusses why she felt moved to create the online platform, the emotional and psychological impacts of anti-Asian racism – and why now, more than ever, we need to celebrate the diversity and pride of the Asian diaspora.
It's amazing what can happen when you follow a late-night calling. Founder of The RepresentAsian Project, Maddy Chung shares how the discovery of her identity inspired a movement. We talk about the mindset it takes to move with inspired Action. We talk about the act of service and how a creator nurtures their body, soul, and mind. We ask the question, How does one fill their cup, when they decide to really step into their truth and calling?

You may have noticed how the co-hosts of this podcast audibly cringe every time we talk about a fragrance that is marketed as an "oriental" scent. It feels icky and wrong and way tone-deaf. Because it is. But why does the fragrance industry continue using such an outdated term in such a blasé matter-of-fact way? It's not like there aren't a ton of other more accurate descriptors that could be used to better explain a fragrance. It remains a mystery, however, one that more and more people are starting to rightfully question, ourselves included. While there isn't much discourse on this problematic topic, we reference this flare dot com article by Madelyn Chung for its in-depth research—a perfect springboard for your co-hosts to bounce off of and, as the kids say, go awf.[Fragrances mentioned: Kilian Intoxicated, Black Phantom; Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper, Maison Margiela Replica Matcha Meditation]
