Welcome to our new Solo Series, where we sit down with each other to discuss more personal topics around our Asian upbringing, parental relationships and identity.
In this episode, we talk about our own relationships with our parents and highlight both the tumultuous and healthy side of things, we unpack our experiences growing up as migrant kids and give insights into the lessons we’ve learnt from our parents.
