Entering journalism: starting out, rejection and writing about Anti-Asian racism and community ft. Suyin Haynes & Angela Hui

But Where Are You From?

We spoke with Suyin Haynes (Editor-In-Chief at gal-dem) and Angela Hui (freelance food writer for Time Out, HuffPost, gal-dem and so much more!) on a fascinating episode on everything journalism: how they started, writing ad copy for vouchers, finding a community through trauma, how to balance speaking about issues online and looking after mental health. Such a brilliant way to start off season four of But Where Are You From?
