Johnny Lee on Asian masculinity, Bruce Lee, raising mixed children, and chilli oil appropriation

Melissa and Isabelle are joined by Johnny Lee, a British-Chinese visual artist and founder of New Territories Training. In this episode they discuss defying Asian male stereotypes, the legacy of Bruce Lee, raising multi heritage children, and creating your own culture - plus they debate the verrrry fine line between cultural appreciation and appropriation.


Johnny’s work at @newterritoriestraining empowers Asian men through fitness and self-development in a way that challenges existing biases and celebrates individual strength, diversity, and culture. As an artist and designer, he creates stylised artwork with a focus on faces and characters, with an emphasis on Asian and street culture.
