23. Karen Ishiguro: breakups to makeups, love & legacy

Karen is a Japanese photographer, gamer, and TikTok scroller born and raised in New Zealand. Originally, Karen and I were meant to record last year but then we went into lockdown. Back then she had broken up with her boyfriend but they’re back together, so of course, I asked about that. This convo ranges from talking about growing up with shame and feeling unlovable to thirsting over fictional characters and more.  Follow: @karenishigurophoto Check out http://www.karenishiguro.com/ ☕️ SUPPORT the podcast: https://ko-fi.com/asianinaotearoa FOLLOW @asianinaotearoa on Instagram VISIT asianinaotearoa.com ___ ABOUT THE PODCAST Hosted by Jenna Wee, Asian in Aotearoa (New Zealand) explores the lives of Asian creatives, one uncensored convo at a time.
