Kicki Zhang, I met her though the old fashion way, I slid into her DMs. Now she's on the podcast. This is just how friendships work when you're a Third Culture Kid, you find each other in the wild and you just never let each other go.
Kicki is a content creator based in Berlin, and one of the few people I know who has actually thought deeply about what it means to grow up as a visible minority in a country that never fully claims you.
We talked about the "model immigrant" myth and why it's one of the most offensive things you can say to someone. About the phase where you tried to bleach yourself into someone else. About what it actually means to be a girls' girl in a competitive industry. And about why straight guys trying to be internet famous is, statistically, a red flag.
We also checked Taobao for crocodile meat. In real time.
