This Month’s Programme
This month we really do welcome our guest Eva Wong Nava. Now based in London, she is passionate about how her culture, heritage, and people are represented in all media. Eva Wong Nava was born on a tropical island where a heraldic animal spurts water. Her ancestors braved monsoon winds sailing from the Middle Kingdom to British Malaya to plant roots in Southeast Asia. When the winds changed, her relatives sailed again and found another home somewhere in the western hemisphere, braving snow storms and hail.
