12. Grace Ko: breakups, friendships, dance

Grace Ko is Taiwanese-Chinese, in her 20s and enjoying the world through dancing, conversing, thinking really hard, barely thinking at all, making jewellery, painting, playing the piano, and finding joy and connection in her community. We talk about breakups, self-reflection and discovery, friendships, social norms and pressure, family and more. Note: there’s mention of racial violence when Grace speaks about her family’s experience here - so I invite you to check in with how you’re feeling and if you need to skip forward, please do so if and when needed. ___ LINKS @gko__  /  baobeilabel.com  /  therapyofdance.com ☕️ SUPPORT the podcast: https://ko-fi.com/asianinaotearoa FOLLOW @asianinaotearoa on IG VISIT asianinaotearoa.com ___ ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by Jenna Wee, Asian in Aotearoa (New Zealand) explores the lives of Asian creatives in their 20s and 30s, one uncensored convo at a time.
