    Yarns with Qin Qin - identity, going rogue and model minority myth
    Jul 28 2025
    I sit down with Qin Qin - author of Model Minority Gone Rogue - to explore the quiet rebellions, burning questions, and spiritual unravellings that come with dismantling the myth of the “model minority". What does liberation really look like in 2025? Can rage become solidarity? What happens when our success stories become cages? And how do we reclaim joy, softness, and identity in a world that only rewards striving? This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin oar.org.nz

    Visibility isn’t the same as liberation. In this episode, we unpack the difference between being seen and being free - and why representation alone isn’t enough. From hijabs after Christchurch to Crazy Rich Asians, we explore when visibility uplifts and when it distracts from real justice. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin oar.org.nz
