It’s no surprise our culture has a huge impact on our upbringing and who we are today, especially as Asian Canadian women. Our Asian Canadian culture has influenced every area of our lives - from our education, career, relationship and life choices to our personalities, values and physical appearances. Today, we have the pleasure of talking to Jocelyn C. Jocelyn is Canadian-born Chinese who grew up in a predominantly Asian community and was exposed to her cultural roots very early on. Join us as we discuss the duality of west and eastern values, how it has impacted our experiences growing up, our thoughts on the lack of Asian representation in media and our reflection on the recent anti-Asian hate crimes. --- SUBSCRIBE! @BecomingBKYL on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Instagram --- Jocelyn’s Links: Instagram: @jocelyn.eats --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/becomingbkyl/message
