In this episode, host Kyle Leung speaks with Katherine Leung, the founder and editor of CantoCutie, a groundbreaking zine dedicated to showcasing the voices and creativity of the Cantonese diaspora. Katherine opens up about her multicultural upbringing in Austin, Texas, her time teaching in Russia, and how these experiences shaped her understanding of identity, language, and belonging.

They explore the complexities of navigating cultural identity, the intersections of religion and heritage, and the challenges of creating space for underrepresented voices in the art and publishing world. Katherine also shares the inspiration behind CantoCutie and her vision for building a global community of Cantonese creators.

This is a powerful conversation about the importance of representation, storytelling, and staying connected to your roots—no matter where you are in the world.
