This week we’re joined by Eddie Huang, an author, chef, restaurateur, food personality, and producer. Eddie published his autobiography ‘Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir’ in 2013, which covers his childhood & adulthood and the struggles with identity he experienced growing up, which was later adapted into an ABC sitcom. Alongside his Lower Manhattan restaurant, BaoHaus, Eddie also hosted ‘Huang’s World’ on VICE, taking viewers on a hilarious journey exploring race, identity, multiculturalism and food.

In this episode we talk to Eddie about his childhood in the US with young Taiwanese immigrant parents, learning to choose empathy and forgiveness, and (of course) lots of food chat.

This week we have a very special episode as we are joined by the incredible Dr. Emeka Okorocha, an A&E Doctor who has been working on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic in London. Above and beyond his work in the NHS, Dr. Emeka has also developed a major following on TikTok where he posts informative content about healthcare and medicine, works to debunk myths and counter misinformation, and aims to spread positivity (with a few dances thrown in too).

In this episode we talk to Dr. Emeka about his experience working on the frontlines as a doctor throughout the pandemic, the messages he hopes to spread on his platforms, and how TikTok has kept him optimistic and hopeful throughout the last year.

Thank you so much to Dr. Emeka for taking the time to speak to us. You can find him on Instagram @doctor.emeka and on TikTok @doctor.emeka
