À propos de ce contenu audio

Perfectly Untrue hosted by Asia Au-Yeung delves into society's rigid definitions of "perfection", dissecting commonly accepted standards— and revealing the flaws behind these ideals. Through a youth perspective, the project challenges the concept of perfection by exploring how these unrealistic standards impact individuals, especially youth. By contrasting societal norms with personal perspectives, Perfectly Untrue aims to allow listeners to embrace individuality and encourage others to follow their own path rather than conform to the status quo.

      In this episode of Perfectly Untrue, we unpack the intricate interplay between cultural identity, internalized racism, and societal beauty standards as experienced through the lens of growing up Asian in a Western world. Asia Au-Yeung shares personal reflections on her upbringing in Canada, navigating the dichotomy of her Hong Kong heritage and Western influences, and the challenges of fitting into two contrasting cultural spheres.

      Asia and her guests reflect on feelings of inadequacy in both Western and Asian contexts, revealing how polarizing beauty standards and cultural expectations affect identity formation. They also discuss how global media trends, like the rise of K-POP and anime, impact Asian representation, while highlighting the nuanced experiences of those from lesser-recognized Asian backgrounds.

      Ultimately, Prayer Stick shines a light on the personal struggles of reconciling cultural identity with the pressures of society, and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance and representation.
