Customer Reviews
Amazing work!
I love how open and vulnerable Karen is as it allows her guests to open up as well. I love how she discusses so many topics that affect asian americans, especially mental health! Excited for more.
Shang-Chi
I enjoy the discussion. In terms of the discussion of speaking proper Mandarin, I think y’all are missing the point. This is an Asian American movie, encompassing a diverse cultural background of Asian Americans. It’s not just representing Mainland China. BTW, even in Mainland China, there are various accents. Open your mind and see a bigger picture!
Great Host! (And guest but I know her less well)
Go Karen! Keep up the good work!
