This is a rerun of the first episode of the first season of NYTM that aired in February 2021. 

In the very first episode of Not Your Token Minority, I speak with my good friend Sheila about growing up in small-town New Zealand, building her career as one of the only Asian female leaders in her industry and coming to terms with her mum's death. 

Themes and topics explored in this episode include:
- growing up as an Asian kid in small-town New Zealand, including experiences of racism
- work ethic 
- the death of a parent
