Trieu Talks16 - Asian Queers Talk Gender Identity and SexualityIn this episode one of my good friends, Laura Gao, and I are talking about her journey into being a writer, our gender identity, and sexuality.

Trieu Talks13 - Therapy!!In this episode my friend Vy Luu is joining me in talking about our love for therapy!! Being open about mental health is tough, especially in Asian communities. We share about how we came about starting therapy, and some insights we've gained in this journey :) There are also so fun tangents with Asian American authors, and extending care throughout communities. This was so fun for me and eye opening for me, thank you Vy!

2021-02-2441 minTrieu Talks11 - Queer Climbing Community!(I’m bad at titles) My friend Elli, the founder of the Queer Climbing Collective (QCC), took the time to chat about this group and how she came about making it!
We also talk about:
- The queer community in climbing
- The different types of climbing
- Our favorite types of climbs
This episode is short and sweet, and I thought it would be cool to share with you all places that I find community and comfort with other queer people :) Check QCC out! Instagram is @queerclimbingcollective :)
2021-01-2630 minTrieu Talks10 - Asian Women Take on Lesbians! ;)In this episode I'm talking with one of my best buds, Glaiza, about our experience in figuring out our sexuality. Surprise, we're both lesbians! Both of us are Asian American women, and navigating through our sexuality while also battling conflicting standards between Eastern and Western cultures is a long, never ending process. Not only are we talking about our journey, but we are also discussing the word "Lesbian" and what it means to us, as well as how society has portrayed it. I definitely learned a lot, and hanging out with Glaiza helps me feel more comfortable in my own...
2021-01-151h 13Trieu Talks09 - What I Learned In 2020Even though 2020 sucked, I learned a lot, and I’m grateful that I was able to learn a lot about myself through these hard times. I’m really optimistic about 2021 (kind of) and hope y’all have a safe new year!
2021-01-0741 minTrieu Talks08 - Women Take On Engineering! (Part 1 of Many)In this episode my girlfriend and I are chatting about our experiences in engineering! Both of us are Mechanical Engineers so this episode will focus mainly on that, but I hope to chat with many other ladies in different engineering fields and share with y’all :) I’m also going to try to chat with ladies in all different fields as well!! I hope you all are doing well, we finally made it to the end of 2020!
2020-12-3148 minTrieu Talks07 - Our Grad School Experience (w/ Joey)Joey is back!! And in this episode we’re sharing our thoughts and experiences in grad school. What was fun about this episode is we are studying very different subjects which lead to very different feelings/experiences LOL. Definitely a ramble type episode! Hope y’all enjoy and happy holidays! :)
2020-12-241h 07Trieu Talks06 - IBD Awareness Week and My Journey with IBDMy first solo episode! Disclaimer: It is very unedited and unfiltered. In this episode I’m trying to raise awareness about Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). It affects roughly 1% of the population and it is a chronic autoimmune disease. Navigating through this diagnosis has been tough for me, but also rewarding at the same time. I wanted to share my experiences with y’all and just some thoughts/reflections.
Here are some links for more information about the disease:

2020-12-0346 minTrieu Talks05 - Reflections on Expectations within Asian CultureIn this episode, Kristine and I talk about specifically how we felt growing up in a traditional Vietnamese household. I didn’t want to generalize and say that it’s the same for all Asian households, but maybe there are similarities! It’s taxing trying to balance what will make your family happy and what will make you happy. I don’t know if any solutions are in this episode BUT I hope it provides some comfort to y’all that if you feel this way, you are not alone!
2020-11-1555 minTrieu Talks04 - A Look Into The Midwestern LifeIn this episode I'm talking with my friend Megan! She was born in a small town in Missouri with a population of 700 people. It was super interesting to learn more about her upbringing and to show that the US consists of so many people with such different backgrounds. During these times the country feels so divided (fuck Trump) but I think its important to understand why some people think the way they do. In the end we're all people just trying to make our way through life and we should learn to be compassionate and loving towards each other no...
2020-11-151h 00Trieu Talks03 - Gender Is a Construct, So Lets Tear It Down!How you identify as a person is important! In this episode Joey and I are talking about the Genderbread Person. It is a great resource for those in questioning of their gender identity and sexuality, and for anyone that wants to learn more about some topics discussed in the LGBTQ community (but really should be talked about everywhere).
As a disclaimer this is a VERY basic introduction to the concept of Gender and Sexuality: It is not in any way thorough, but it was personally really helpful to go through the Genderbread Person and be able to break down jumbled th...
2020-11-1443 minTrieu Talks02 - Asian Women Take on Entertainment! (Part 1)In this episode we’re hanging out with Allison! She was your “classic” asian growing up, intending to follow the stem path as most of us do, but now she’s pursuing entertainment! I admire her for embracing this unfamiliar path (for me), and I’m so happy I was able to catch up with her. She’s sharing with us her journey getting into hollywood and youtube!
Her IG: allison.yellow and check her videos at youtube.com/AllisonYellow. Enjoy!
