My latest conversation for Cha: An Asian Literary Journal with Lindsey McCallister took me on a wild joyride of liberation and nostalgia. Among her many, many achievements, Lindsey founded the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation, where I got my first taste of performing. (So if you want to blame anyone for the way that panned out, blame her!!)

Her passion and commitment to empowering young people through the arts have earned her an OBE. Her other accolades include Tatler Asia’s Most Influential (2021), a Woman of Power by Prestige (2025) and a finalist for the AmCham Women of Influence Awards (2026). This year she’s been taking the art world by storm with her solo fine art exhibition at Art Central and continued success of the pop art and lifestyle phenomenon Crafty Bitch! Big thanks to editor Tammy Ho Lai-Ming for the time and energy you put into publishing every piece! Enjoy crafty bitches!

Who is brave enough to follow the mighty Mat Ricardo in my weekly Writer’s Gauntlet column for The Hooghly Review? She describes herself as The Worst Comedy Hack You’ve Ever Seen! A Midwestern U.S. farmgirl transplanted to Portugal who performs standup comedy in Lisbon’s best basements. Meet the brilliantly witty Jen Nafziger!

This week on The Writer’s Gauntlet with Sadie Kaye, my opponent is the effortlessly erudite and witty Mat Ricardo – showman, best dressed juggler, and America’s Got Talent loser who wrote a book for kids about how to be criminals (The Magic in You, published by Faber!)
