Growing up Asian in Australia & entering the Magic Shop: Michelle Bùi Hoàng's ARMY story

On today’s episode I am fortunate enough to be interviewing an essayist from my latest book project I Am ARMY: We don’t need permission. This book features a collection of essays from ARMY from around the world that share their stories of how they found BTS and who they are. 

Content warning: This episode contains discussions on suicide.

Phương Thảo Michelle Bùi Hoàng is a healthcare consultant, eclectic artist and former radiation therapist. She is a proud advocate for Asian representation, mental health and BTS. Outside of her professional life, Michelle is a dog mum to Sir Winston, ice cream connoisseur, and a reading aficionado.
