#64 - New Asian Dating App, ALIKE Artwork

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!

#64 - New Asian Dating App, ALIKE

June 10, 2021 • The May Lee Show

There is no shortage of dating apps that cover a range of wants and needs out there. Some are open to any and all types of people wanting to find connection. Others target more specific groups such as seniors, LGBTQ, Christians and Jews. And apps even for those who just want to hook-up or have extra-marital affairs! But, there has never been a dating app based in North America meant for Asians to meet each other, until now. Alike is a new video dating app that "celebrates the Asian experience". Its founder, Korean Canadian Hanmin Yang, was inspired to launch the app because of his own difficult experiences growing up with his Asian identity, especially as an Asian male. Alike is in the beta stage, but watch or listen to this episode and May will share a way you can join for free and give it a try! Hanmin says at the core of Alike is healing for the Asian community and encouraging self-love.
