Podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/whatkindofasianpod/ @whatkindofasianpodGuest: Chara Kai-Le https://www.instagram.com/charakaile/?hl=enChara's Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUCaHQfTRr5XSybnDB3wBwgAsian Enough MV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9_yrqlbb6kToday we have Chara Kai-Le, singer-songwriter/producer based in Toronto, Canada. She recently released her song, Asian Enough that I came across that I relate to a lot. The song speaks to the feelings of many third culture kids on whether or not they are "Asian Enough" or should that even be a thing? In our conversation, we found out about Chara's background of moving around everywhere when she was a kid, living in England facing racism and culture shock that lead her to be quite pro-Asian and kind of Anti-White and how music was the thing that saved her when she was younger. Last but not least, we got into talking about Chara's creative journey and her road to being an independent singer-songwriter/producer trying to make it in Toronto while the world is going through the pandemic and all the social unrest. We definitely talked about her song, Asian Enough as well. Please support Chara and her music as it's always great to see Asian creatives pursuing their passion in the arts and given how she is creating content that really speaks to third culture kids makes her even more awesome. Thank you for listening!
