Mimi Kwa joins host Flic Manning on today's show to talk about Intergenerational Trauma, her career as Australia's first Asian-heritage anchor and her best-selling memoir 'House of Kwa' which will soon be a television series.

 

Mimi discusses the mental health and physiological impact of her Father suing her in the Supreme Court of Australia, and how she has taken steps to break the cycle of generational trauma in her family as a result. She also talks about the impact of living with a parent with undiagnosed mental health conditions as a child. It is an interview you don't want to miss!
