Chinese Chippy Girl

Chinese Chippy Girl

Award winning podcast* 🥈. Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I've had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad's takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home - it felt confusing at the time as I couldn't find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people.* Silver award at British Podcast Awards 2022 in 'Moment of the Year' category. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey!!  I'm back with a new season.  In this episode I speak to my fiancé eWan Smith as we  talk about how we met, the adventures that we've had and we probably over share when we talk about the mini break up that we had a few years ago.  I also asked him if he has yellow fever (spoiler alert, he doesn't) but it did boost a conversation on how yellow fever is dangerous on ESEA women.

You can find both eWan an...

Hello! In this episode, we speak with Siu Kee.  A BBC (British born Chinese) who grew up in Glasgow/Barnsley.  Also a fellow takeaway kid!  I feel he ticks all the boxes for Asian golden child.  Academic, a lawyer and the only son in his family.  Sounds good on paper right?  But tune in to this episode as we hear from Siu Kee on his identity issues and speaking openly about his sexuality.

A vital service for the community, especially for the elderly where the service can help with translations and accompanying them to appointments. So many Chinese people would be lost without the centre and they need to raise at least £70k to stay open. Here’s how you can donate:
