Today I’m in London’s very African neighborhood of Peckham, otherwise known as Little Lagos, browsing in the local markets and restaurants. I’ve been practicing the Nigerian languages of Yoruba and Igbo recently and I’ve come out here to practice them. This was such an amazing experience trying great African food and experiencing some awesome Nigerian culture here in the UK!
Hong Kong’s first South African experience store, called 'SPECTACULAR South Africa', will debut at Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay early next month
Daily advice for HK immigrants to the West:
Regarding race, one way to open your mind is to try different kinds of food. Try to eat food you’re not used to. Try out different kinds of Indian, Caribbean, African American etc. foods, and learn to cook with their sauces and methods. If you’re the reading type, study the history of their foods. For example, my experience tells me that the best sources of fried chicken come from African Americans, Indian or Caribbean cuisine. You can only try different kinds of food, if you have real friends from those groups. Go to cultural events of other races to learn. Don't go to the default “I think my people’s food is the best” mode. Keep your mind open. Get involved in school where parents from different cultures get together to support your child’s team or academic activities. Visit museums to understand the rich history of other races. Converse humbly with friends from other cultures, and let them teach you. Encourage your children to read widely beyond the canon of Western literature (Of course, the canon of Western lit is important too). When they learn a foreign language in school, don’t think in terms of usefulness but in terms of exposing them to a wider culture. Better yet, learn along with them when they do their homework. This is the only way to build your multicultural point of view.

I am so excited to talk to the wonderful Lina Vasquez today! Lina and I realised we have a lot in common - growing up internationally and questioning who we really are in a world full of cultures and languages. We talk about blending into a new culture, vulnerability, multilingual meditation, struggling to express yourself in a language and much more. She shares her language stories and we open up about how our view of languages and life has changed over the years.
We also did a video for her channel which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fst3Uss9pRE&t=770s
