    The Death of DEI? • Unpacking the Backlash, Burnout, and Buzzwords
    Aug 7 2025
    In this thought-provoking episode of Love, Discovery and Dim Sum, we ask the hard question: Is DEI dead? With recent headlines showing companies slashing diversity roles, anti-DEI legislation on the rise, and public skepticism growing, we unpack what's really going on. Is this a backlash—or a reckoning? We dive into the historical context of diversity and inclusion efforts, why they’ve become a lightning rod, and what this means for the future of equity in the workplace, media, and beyond. Join us for a candid conversation about this controversial topic.

    "Sinners" - Movie Review & 1930s Mississippi Delta History
    May 13 2025
    In this special episode of Love, Discovery and Dim Sum, hosts Larissa Lam and Only Won aka Baldwin Chiu dive into a compelling review of the box office hit film Sinners, set in the 1930s Mississippi Delta. They explore how the film portrays the story of Chinese American families living in the segregated South during Jim Crow—a narrative that closely mirrors their own family history, as seen in their award-winning documentary Far East Deep South. Larissa and Baldwin discuss the historical accuracy of Sinners, the cultural and racial dynamics of Chinese grocers in the Deep South, and how this film helps shine a light on the forgotten legacy of Chinese immigrants in Mississippi. If you’re a fan of hidden history, Asian American stories, or powerful film reviews with cultural insight, this episode is a must-listen.
