You’re listening to episode 12 of Don't Be Strangers, a series of collaborative conversations for learning from friends and strangers alike on how to create agency in your life and deepen your connections with everyone you meet. As we’re coming to a close on 2021, I’m super excited to say that this is the last of my backlogged episodes from my beta test trail this year which will allow me to start 2022 fresh!! Speaking of the New Years — have you joined our Pen Pals Club yet? Since this is round 1 of this monthly series of digital pen pals, I’m extending the opt-in date for Jan until end of day Friday Dec 31! Every month, you’ll receive a journal prompt (inspired by questions discussed on the podcast) which you will ponder and answer in an email to someone else in the group. What’s really fun and unique about this pen pals community compared to others is that everyone will be lined in a circle (instead of being exclusively paired) so you’ll personally connect with 2 others within the community, someone you write to and someone who writes to you. If this piques your interest, hurry and sign up before the turn of the year so you’ll be on the mailing list! And who knows — maybe I’ll get paired to send or receive a response to you! I’d honestly love that. So, today I’m speaking with Tiffany, a fellow Asian American whom I met in Oaxaca, Mexico thanks to the digital nomad group Wifi Tribe. Honestly, thinking back on it, I kinda wish I had spoken to Tiff earlier during our 4-week stay together because this girl is so cool. I’m just grateful that we had the chance to have such a soulful conversation here on this podcast because in this conversation we cover (1) our favorite feelings and sensory experiences, (2) our creative goals and processes, (3) K-pop and the rise of Asian representation in Hollywood, (4) growing up Chinese in Dallas vs NYC, and (5) judgement vs curiosity in response to Black Lives Matter and Stop Asian Hate. And... if you stick till the very end, I’ll share a funny mis-adventure Tiff and I shared about a week after the recording of this podcast during our time together in Oaxaca.

That’s also where you’ll find the link to sign up for our pen pals club, Tiff’s instagram account if you’d like to connect with her, and my personal instagram if you want to reach out! And... if you’re listening to this in real time, happy soon-to-be New Years and... don’t be a stranger!
