  • Hi.

  • Welcome back to eat your Crez podcast.

  • I'm Jisoo.

  • I'm Crystal.

  • And I'm Karen.

  • We have an exciting guest today, and she is an east coast Asian from Georgia.

  • She's also the host of her own podcast, mxasian American.

  • And fun fact, she doesn't know how to swim.

  • Welcome, Karen.

  • Well, thank you, guys.

  • I'm very excited to be here and very excited that Georgia is blue.

  • Yes.

  • Yeah, it's Saturday right now as we're recording.

  • So the news about Biden and Kamala winning the election was just announced this morning.

  • So pretty exciting time for us.

  • Mm hmm.

  • We're still on the high.

  • So today's topic, we thought it was perfect to bring on Karen because we, Crystal and I, for a long time, have wanted to talk about gender expression and identity in the asian community as well as the asian american community.

  • It's no secret that crystal and I consume a lot of korean media, and we're also big fans of mainstream american media as well.

  • So I think a lot of the times, we can kind of see the contrast in cultures and definitely in modern day portrayals of gender as well in media, which is so interesting.
