As Crazy Rich Asians will be opening up in China, what better way to celebrate the launch of #AprilLadiesTalk than to open up the platform with a deeper insider look on Asia’s first impressions of Crazy Rich Asians from Youjin of April Magazine and Jessica of Project Voice as our co-hosts? Our April Ladies will highlight the critiques and praises as well as address what the significance of Crazy Rich Asians means to them respectively. Will Crazy Rich Asians live up to its hype in Asia? Why is its screening considered an important milestone for Asian-Americans and other Asian diasporic communities around the world? Is it really a film that speaks to Asian-diasporic narratives.

April Ladies Talk is a series of in-depth conversations on Asian pop culture, trending issues, and other topics that are interesting and relevant to our community. This podcast is a collaboration project by Youjin Lee, editor-in-chief of April Magazine and Jessica Nguyen, founder of Project Voice.
