Roughly one in 10 Aussies come from somewhere in Asia, yet when you look at our representation on TV, film, radio and literature, you’d think we were completely non-existent. What do you do when the world doesn’t give you the space to be heard? You make your own space. Each week, sisters and Sydney locals Helen Stenbeck and Jessie Tu give searing intersectional feminist critiques on social and cultural issues relevant to those living in Australia and abroad. Join us as we traverse the complex intersectionality of gender, race and culture.

Visibility of Asian Actors on Stage: Feat. Susanna Pang + Enoch Li
Hello Bitches! Apologies for the delay of this week's episode! We present you the interview with two brilliant performers on this week's episode, Enoch and Susanna.
You'll hear Helen mention that this is the 'second part of the show'; unfortunately we have first part eaten by the god of technology so we are still trying to recover the first part of recording. Anyway, enjoy the interview and get your tickets to A Grain of Sand now!

Customer Reviews
Has potential
More focus on important topics, and less going on personal tangents please. It’s very easy to lose interest.
One of my current faves
Love your personal tangents. These two are absolute gems and fu$&king funny
Helen’s thoughts are well spoken, empathetic and not condescending.
Thanks Helen
