#030 | What Kind of Asian Are You? ft. Kyle Leung

MAIM TIME

#030: I’m SO PUMPED about this episode! It’s one of the best yet. Kyle Leung is the host of the What Kind of Asian Are You? Podcast. He’s Hong Kong-born Canadian, and talks with Asian diaspora from all over the world about their experiences.

We talk about Asian diaspora stuff as you might imagine. What it’s like growing up as Asian immigrants in North America, coming back to Asia, and pursuing meaning in our identity, our heritage, our lives, and becoming better versions of ourselves.

We talk about:

• How being Asian diaspora means being forced to pick a side, and the confusion that follows
• The variety of the Asian diaspora experience and getting in touch with our roots
• Not taking things personally when people try to put us in a box *TRIGGER WARNING*
• Accepting ourselves for who we are and being happy with “being in the middle"
• Becoming happy with being you, and not wanting to be someone else, another ethnicity
• Wanting to communicate and connect better with our parents to have more honest open loving relationships
• Whether or not it’s important to connect to one’s own heritage or mother tongue, and the benefits of doing so
• How having these conversations and coming to understand and appreciate our identity can empower us to become better people

…and so much more!

This episode is FIRE! This is why I started this podcast, to have conversations like this, and I’m so excited to share it with you and grateful for you listening!

If you’re Asian diaspora, you HAVE to listen to this episode and check out his podcast!
