My friend and ex colleague Isabel comes on the show. She's Filipino and grew up in the US and Philippines. Now living with her husband Rob and their baby bao (ok - Thalia) in London.

We exchange notes on what we think is important about raising our children with Asian values. We also discuss why Filipino NHS workers are more likely to be at risk of getting Covid-19. And what about people just assuming she is Chinese?πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

And to end on this note, Isabel is just a Superwoman! I had the pleasure of working with Isabel at JustGiving. She is now a Coach and Cofounder of Hack Camp where they run programs that helps people of colour become leaders.
