I really resonated with Date or Hate by Vivian Chan.

Vivian is such a wonderful performer. I loved the way she tells her own story of navigating Vancouver, while using her experiences to unpack what it means to be an Asian woman here — the awkwardness, contradictions, and uncomfortable spaces we find ourselves in.

Her performance is nuanced, vivid, and incredibly honest. She’s brave enough to put herself out there, and I genuinely felt what she felt.

As Asian women, sometimes it feels like people either want to take something from us or don’t see us at all. Date or Hate captures that reality in such a sharp and human way.

Funny, emotional, and painfully relatable. 10/10. ❤️
