Hey!!  I'm back with a new season.  In this episode I speak to my fiancé eWan Smith as we  talk about how we met, the adventures that we've had and we probably over share when we talk about the mini break up that we had a few years ago.  I also asked him if he has yellow fever (spoiler alert, he doesn't) but it did boost a conversation on how yellow fever is dangerous on ESEA women.

Hello! In this episode, we speak with Siu Kee.  A BBC (British born Chinese) who grew up in Glasgow/Barnsley.  Also a fellow takeaway kid!  I feel he ticks all the boxes for Asian golden child.  Academic, a lawyer and the only son in his family.  Sounds good on paper right?  But tune in to this episode as we hear from Siu Kee on his identity issues and speaking openly about his sexuality. If you like this episode, feel free to share it and tag me on instagram.
