Shoes Off Inside with MKT
Three trailblazing Asian American women in TV journalism and Hollywood join forces to rattle some cages and dismantle tired old stereotypes about race, age, sex and culture. Award-winning journalist May Lee and actresses Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita (a.k.a. MKT) take on topics that aren't often discussed in the most open, authentic and, sometimes, hilarious way because they are unafraid to be fully themselves. They're all 50+ and fabulous so they got nothing to hide and they are beyond the point of caring about what other people think! So take your Shoes Off Inside and join MKT to engage, contribute, challenge and, most importantly, have fun! Lots and lots of FUN!

EP 37 Our Girls Matter! Better Breast Screening
October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but honestly, breast health is something we need to stay aware of all year. Regular screenings are key—but here’s the shocker: traditional mammograms can miss up to 50–60% of breast cancers in women with dense breast tissue. And dense breasts are common—about 40% of women in the U.S. have them, and around 80% of Asian women do.
But there is a better option. In this episode, we talk with Brendan Foley, President and Co-Founder of Eve Wellness, about a new kind of screening that uses 3D breast ultrasound + AI to find cancer earlier without radiation, compression, or that whole boob-smash situation. Yes, you read that right. No. More. Boob Pancakes!
We also get real about another topic: aging and identity. While Tamlyn’s out for a very good reason (we explain in the episode), Kelly and May dive into what it feels like to “age out” as women—when careers shift, kids grow up, parents pass away, and suddenly you’re wondering, Okay… now who am I? It’s open, honest, a little vulnerable, and very, very relatable.
