Ramadan mubarak! Mei Lum, owner of Wing On Wo, the oldest shop in Chinatown in New York City (around since 1890!), joins us to talk about the future of Chinatowns in NYC and across North America.
Dolly and Mei chat about the shop’s COVID-19 art project “Love Letters to Chinatown”, creating a third space for women and non-binary voices, and honoring Chinatown’s legacy by opening her storefront as a gathering space to have tough conversations on cultural preservation, gentrification, and growing Chinatown for future generations.
