I’m thrilled to welcome the multi-talented Dianne Doan to the show! Dianne is a talented actress who brings depth and authenticity to every role she’s taken on.

You might recognize her from her captivating performances in shows like “Warrior,” where she portrays the character Mai Ling, a complex and dynamic figure in the world of martial arts and organized crime.

She discusses her journey: growing up in Abbotsford, British Columbia, where she honed her skills as a dancer. Dianne shares how she integrates her dance background into acting, which brings a unique blend of movement and emotion to her performances.

I love sharing a small Mulan connection with Dianne, as she played the daughter of Mulan, Lonnie in Disney’s The Descendants. She shares memories of her youth watching the animated feature Mulan and the impact the character has had on her life.

From her insights into the making of “Warrior” to her experiences in the entertainment industry, I’m inspired by the incredible Dianne and truly enjoyed this conversation.

My favor as usual is to please continue to share this podcast with others. It would mean so much if you also rate it and leave me feedback.

“Dit” means to fall or get hurt. “Da” means to hit. “Dit Da Jow” is the liniment martial artists use to heal bruises, aches, and pain. So what does this have to do with social justice?

A topic that’s been on my mind lately is how in Chinese medicine, we often delve into the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. But what about its connection to the broader societal landscape?

‌In this episode, I share my thoughts and theories as well as a little history behind this ancient Chinese medicine.

‌I would appreciate questions and comments on this episode as I know many of you are martial arts practitioners yourselves. So please feel free to email hello@sifumimichan.com to share some thoughts or leave a comment on the blogpost online.

It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! It’s been a while since Greg and I have been able to catch up. We are long overdue. There will be no YouTube video this week as I have a cold and my vanity would not allow for everyone to see me in such an ill state.

Greg shares his thoughts on comic conventions, and we also get an update on both Lazarus and Ruby Actual. I was also thrilled to hear his take on how creating comics is like chess.

‌Thanks for tuning in and apologies for my congestion, but I really wanted to chat with Greg and thought – why not, let’s just record an episode since most of our conversations make fun podcasts. Shout out to all our friends in the Discord. Feel free to join if you are a Greg Rucka fan HERE.



For those that don’t already know:

Greg Rucka is a New York Times bestselling author of hundreds of comics and nearly two dozen novels. He is also the writer for his critically acclaimed and award-winning film The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron.
