Since August 2021, I’ve led the NüVoices podcast, a show which elevates marginalized genders who publish work about China. We regularly platform journalists, diplomats, academics, writers, and artists from around the world to diversify English-language points of view on China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. To date, I’ve produced and edited over 40 episodes for this biweekly podcast series. In 2023 and 2024, I hired, onboarded, trained our production team, and currently serve as their supervisor and managing editor.
