    EPISODE 60- Sharing Asian Narratives Chapter 4: Ayuko & Vi

    Growing up, we used to feel like outcasts in western society. Things we ate, the language we spoke, the music we would listen to, holidays we would celebrate, and more were very different compared to our friends who aren't Asian. Because of this, we thought we were the only ones who would follow these traditions. Listening to other Asian narratives allowed us to appreciate and love our culture. We created this podcast to share our personal experiences and narratives but we also believe it is important to share others as well! Listening to more stories and experiences others face, teaches us more about the world, enriches our understanding of others, and connects us. In this series, Lulu and Yaya will bring in three guest speakers, coming from all different backgrounds and various parts of the world, to share their narratives and stories as Asians! In this episode, meet Ayuko Ichikawa and Vi Nyugen who share their stories about eating disorders in the Asian community, being Asian in a predominantly white school, and being fetishized by white men.
