As 2018 comes to an end, I took a look back at everything I wrote, shot, podcasted, and collaborated on this year and boy did I have a lot of projects. I learned so much and met so many amazing people. My brand is constantly evolving to become more and more of a community and providing a perspective not often found in mainstream media. And I wrote A LOT of essays.
Here are my most-clicked blog posts from this past year:
Are Corporate Diversity Training Programs Complete Bullshit?
Why Are There So Few Asian Beach Reads?
Representation Matters and it’s Not Just About Hollywood
The Miseducation of the Filipino People
Duterte Harry: Fire and Fury in the Philippines
Weed the People: The Case for Full Legalization
The Killing of the Creative Class
I usually do a write up of the events I’ve organized or hosted and my most-read articles at the end of the year. This was an unusual year (obviously, there is no need to go into it here) so I didn’t bother. Instead I want to highlight a project of mine that I am particularly proud of — it’s my new podcast show, Unverified Accounts, that I cohost with my frequent collaborators, Chris Jesu Lee and Filip Guo. If you're a big movie/TV/book buff, have leftist sympathies, but can't stand 'wokeness' dumbing down our culture, then we're the podcast for you. So far in our 25 episodes, we’ve covered a range of contentious topics.
