20. Evelien Kong│Finding humanity if we are willing to look for it. A life in the media searching for stories.

This week I have a fellow podcaster join me, and her name is Evelien Kong. A producer and Director by day Evelien Kong founded Reppin Podcast with more than 25 years of experience and a myriad of credits that range from producing award winning documentaries with MTV to crafting digital content with Law and Order SVU. She’s worked with Hollywood heavyweights like Mick Jagger, Mylie Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, Kerry Washington, JJ Abrams all the way to President Biden. As the founder and host of Reppin, Evelien is committed to sharing stories of people from all walks of life and cultures to bring true representation to the media.

Evelien is a Chinese American and proud new yorker, but more importantly an amazing person. We chat on this episode about being the daughter of immigrants, recently being made aware of her ethnicity, her career in entertainment, and a lot about storytelling and finding the humanity in life.

What part of Evelien’s story impacted you today? Reach out on social media @EpicsPod everywhere and let me know what your favorite parts of this episode are.

Be sure to follow and subscribe to the Reppin Podcast as well as the Epics Podcast so that you don’t miss the next epic story.

I started this podcast because I believe that the foundation of hate and discrimination in our world comes from a lack of understanding of those who are different from ourselves. We plan to combat that by hearing everyone's stories, that we can better understand them, be a part of creating real positive change.

If you believe in what Epics is doing and love the content that we are creating, I would be so grateful if you supported us on Patreon so that we can spend more and more time bringing you epic guests to share their stories with us! 👉  Patreon.com/EpicsPod 🙏
