Hi beautiful human beings, we're Thuy & Tiana! This is the place where we talk about navigating through adulthood as Asian Australians 💬 🐨 Noticing a lack of Asian representation in the media, we decided to create a place to share our stories and experiences to: ✨ entertain ✨ inform ✨ & represent our community. We have candid conversations about culture, identity, careers, dating & everything in-between. We try to open up the dialogue for both big, important issues as well as light-hearted, fun topics. Think of it as a dnm with your friends on the shit you care about! 🎧 We always strive to make this the best listening experience for you guys, so we've added time stamps in the description and outline points to help a bro & sista out. If you like what you're hearing, pls show us some love and subscribe on your preferred podcasting platform. Now, grab that cup of tea or shot of tequila and let's start this conversation 🥂 Much love, UA ♡ P.S We'd love to hear from you, feel free to slide into our dms on instagram: @unapologeticallyazn or send us an email: unapologeticallyasianpodcast@gmail.com ✨Music by the talented Joakim Karud✨ •Say Goodnight •Soundcloud •Spotify
