☝️ #firstofall, do you remember early 2000s Azn Pride ✌️?
In this episode, Minji sits down with a woman who impacted her life from a very early age, model and singer turned author @kailayu . A cultural icon during the Azn Pride days of import cars, Nautica jackets, and tricked out html web pages, Kaila made an undeniable mark on the blossoming Asian American identity as one of the hottest Asian "it" girls.
Kaila’s memoir, @fetishizedbook Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty is out next week, August 19, 2025 ✨️!

🥳🎂🎁 This weekend we celebrated @minjeezy 's birthday and 8 years of First of All! Drop some love in the comments, and share the pod with a friend ✨️ Thank you always for being on this adventure with us, FOA fam. CHEERS!🥂🙌💜
#birthday #anniversary #firstofall
☝️ #firstofall, what does it take to make a dream, reality?
You see these people getting awards and all the great announcements, but you don’t see people making a million auditions and not hearing back. THAT is actually the job. And what about all the behind camera staff?
Cue @adatseng88 and Jon Healey’s ✨️Breaking Into New Hollywood: A Career Guide to a Changing Industry✨️: a book that explores less glamorous parts of the industry, and shares how it takes a talented, persistent, crafty, and determined village to make magic exist on-screen...or really anywhere. (Coming this summer August 12th, 2025!)
🎧 Listen to Ep #200 “Into the Unknown & Doing the Work“ on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all audio podcast streaming platforms!
☝ First of all, every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn 🌄
FOA fam, you may have already heard from my recent episodes: after 8 amazing years of story sharing and conversations, this podcast will becoming to a close. This was a difficult decision to come to since First of All has been a place for me to share my thoughts and connect with people from all over the world, but it feels right as I begin this new chapter in life.
With that in mind, this isn’t the end - I still have a lot to say, and a few more episodes to roll out! I will also be launching a YouTube channel (official announcement to come soon!). Moreover, I’m headed off to focus on being an actor & filmmaker, and investing more time into my family & personal life. And who knows, maybe we’ll have a special episode or two down the line 😉.
THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me & the show. I’m grateful to each and every one of you for tuning in all of these years. Thank you for helping make First of All such a safe and special space.
💜 With Love, Minji
☝️ #firstofall, WE'RE BACK! How can we navigate as artists while AI exists? We remember that our work comes from a human soul ✨️.

☝️ #firstofall, climate change is real 🌎‼️
It feels like an impossible problem to solve. In this episode, Minji sits down with filmmakers @dannyomalley.film and @rivest co-directors of the film Canary, a look into the life of a real life superhero - glacier and climate scientist Lonnie Thompson. Lonnie has spent the past several decades of his life venturing into some of the scariest, coldest, most remote parts of our earth to gather data that has educated the world's science community on the existence and acceleration of climate change.
