Our next guest is John Dewhirst, an English teacher in Saigon. We talk about the two creative projects John's got going on, including an English language sticker book designed to teach kids English through sticker collection and speculation, and a brand new YouTube channel called VNYO (Vietnam Yo!) which is dedicated to giving Vietnamese people a platform to show their amazing personalities, and also to give more information to the world about Vietnamese peoples' lives and attitudes.
Our host Dana was featured on the channel by the way, trying some Vietnamese fruits!
Our main focus was talking about the pivotal moments in our lives that shaped us- the ones where when we look back from today to the past, and think about those moments we can point to and say, THAT's when everything changed. ALL of us had these moments as a result of someone else expressing their creativity, which gave us permission to do the same. Therefore we encourage everyone to keep creating because you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for the people who will be inspired by your work and do the same.
