This episode is it’s all about community both local and overseas. Starting off with a few words of empowerment and addressing the recent asian hate crimes which have taken place in the US. My guest on this episode is founder of British Chinese Biz, Faith Chow! A very big contributor to the BESEA community not just through the directory of local Chinese owned businesses based in Britain, but through their community building and representation advocating activities. Bi weekly community zoom calls, promotions and giveaways to give exposure to local businesses and also raising awareness of worthy causes within our community. Faith not only runs this but also her illustrations business, Ever Sincerely. She talks about how she does all of these things, the pillars that form the foundations of BCB and what it’s bigger community goal is.It can't be ignored that there's been an ever increasing amount of anti asian sentiment, thus my underlying statement of anti asian hate as was stated in my #stopasianhate episode is now more than ever, every asian voice matters and it’s time we use it to bring justice back into our community. Whether it’s raising awareness, supporting our local businesses or calling out for ally ship, we cannot be the silent model minority society has painted us as any more. I talk about two fundraisers i was a part of where in total over $15k was raised to support US organisations Asian Americans Advancing Justice and Asian American Policy Planning Council who are helping the victims in Atlanta and also driving community initiatives such as bystander intervention. I did a community awareness video as part of DJ Mish’s Twitch raid train stream event and an auction on Clubhouse as part of the Sleep Deprived Crew 4 day fund raising event all for #stopasianhateAsian recommendation: Faith's asian recommendation is none other than Britains very own East Asian super star Gemma Chan of Cray Rich Asians and Humans. She's done a huge amount for the community and continues to shine with everything she does.British Chinese Biz: https://www.instagram.com/britishchinesebiz/Ever Sincerely: https://www.instagram.com/eversincerely/Contacts:Crazy Brit Asian Contact Instagram: @crazybritasian https://www.instagram.com/crazybritasian/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crazybritasian/Email: crazybritasian@gmail.com--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crazybritasian/message
