Yang-May Ooi is a former lawyer, podcaster, performance artist and bestselling-author who has been blogging for over 10 years. Her cross-cultural blog Fusion View gained 10,000 unique views a month and was featured on the BBC. She is the co-author of the social media chapters of International Communications Strategy, published by Kogan Page and nominated for the FT Goldman Sachs Business Book Award.

In 2015, Yang-May published the memoir Bound Beet Blues: A Life Told in Shoes based on her one-hour solo stage show Bound Feet Blues where she steps in the shoes of several people of her life and family lineage.   Together we explore:

  • Our experiences with performances of femininity

  • Our thoughts on wearing wheels

  • The concept of identity

  • the roles of values in our lives and how they guide our choices

  • The beauty and struggle of creative living

  • Yang-May's experience as a writer and performance artist  

  • How Yang-May reminds herself to live an examined life
