Hello, everyone!
I'm Virginia Duan, also known as the Mandarin Mama. On this channel, I talk about my eternal love for K-pop boy band BTS, do BTS and K-pop reaction videos, and occasionally talk about writing and teaching kids Chinese. What can I say? I have varied interests.
I am the Entertainment Editor for Mochi Magazine and the Living Justice Editor for Diverging Magazine. You can find my work on various sites like Romper, Mom.com, and Mochi Magazine. I have profiled and written features of K-pop stars like Ailee and actors like Dustin Nguyen and David Lim. For more examples of my work, check out my portfolio: virginiaduan.contently.com/
In addition, I host a podcast show about being a middle aged female BTS fan called Noona ARMY Podcast. I'm the founder of BrAzn AZN, the only retreat for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) creatives and influencers. Find out more at: braznazn.eventbrite.com
