Episode notes

On this bonus episode of Don't Call Me "Exotic”, Annie is joined by Amy & King-Wey from besea.n (Britain’s East and South East Asian Network).

besea.n spotlights ESEA experiences through their platforms and events - providing a safe space for sharing knowledge, creating joy and fostering connections. They started the UK’s first ever annual ESEA Heritage Month in September 2021.

Amy & King-Wey speak to Annie about setting up ESEA Heritage Month, what interviewing Sandra Oh & Simu Liu was like for their films Turning Red & Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, ESEA misrepresentation in mainstream children's books and the odd requests from companies when approached to consult on diversity and representation.
