You Doo?

We laughed. We cried. We questioned all our life choices. Now it all comes down to this... the final episode (of Season 1). We’re going out with a bang featuring the iconic Jackie Tien — a chaotic “good” queen and multi-talented force of nature.

In a world that often tells AAPI queer folks to shrink themselves, speaking up is radical. Pride isn’t just a celebration. It’s protest. It’s presence. It’s power. In this episode, we sit down with Will Chen, a gay Asian man whose story cuts across borders and barriers. From silence to survival. We unpack the deep-rooted stigma around queerness in parts of Asia, the emotional toll of living in the...

Inspired by Vogue’s iconic 73 Questions, we sat down with birthday boy Vince for 30 questions to celebrate 30 years.

From the lessons we never expected to the power of staying connected to our inner child, we’re unpacking the truth behind adulthood with a nod to 13 Going on 30. Is havi...

Adjusting to a new culture as a mother is no small feat — and it's something many of us never fully understood… until we became adults ourselves. Our moms carried so much with quiet strength — acts of love, sacrifice, and resilience we only now truly recognize.

“Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving?” In this episode, we revisit the iconic film 13 Going on 30 to unpack the truth behind growing up. From the power of meaningful relationships to the unexpected lessons of adulthood, we explore what it really means to thrive at 30. Is the pressure to have it all figured out just a myth? And how can reconnecting with our inner child help us redefine success? Let’s talk...

This week, we “kiki” the house-down-boots with Paul Yen — SoCal native, performer, and a true ALLY. From stage to screen, Paul brings more than just talent — he brings truth, heart, and purpose.
