Take a deep dive into unpacking the Asian identity in the West with Jeff and Isabella, two Asian-Australians who are still figuring it out too. Amidst trying to find other words synonymous to unpack, they delve into topics ranging from internalised racism and representation, all the way to the weight of expectations and why food can be so political. As I Am is a journey to understand the experience of being othered, whilst rejoicing in the uniqueness of a multi-faceted identity. The best way to support As I Am is to hit the follow/subscribe button, and to spread the good word with your friends and loved ones. Music by Sugiwa.

Global warming, environmental degradation and sustainability are amongst the key challenges of the 21st century. Yet, the magnitude of these problems can make tackling them seem daunting and unapproachable. We sit down with Brian and Jian, the co-founders of Naked Asian Grocer - Australia’s first zero waste Asian grocer - to chat through their founder journey, as well as how people can implement sustainable practices in their lives through small progressive changes.
