56. Being Young Changemakers & Clubbing At D1, Get You A Mayor That Can Do Both // Jasmine Nguyen & Anthony Tran

Unapologetically Asian

Everybody give your ears to Australia's youngest majors in history and finest Asian Australian leaders in all the land - Madame Jasmine Nguyen & Your Worship, Anthony Tran!

At 23 and 24 years old, Anthony Tran (Mayor of Maribyrnong) and Jasmine Nguyen (Mayor of Brimbank) are breaking through the bamboo ceiling, paving a new road for young Asian Australians to speak up a little louder and stand a little taller in the political sphere. In a space that is traditionally regarded as "scary" and taboo, Anthony and Jasmine prove that being politically active is really approachable and just all about making tangible differences in our society.

In this episode, we cover everything from their journey into politics to how they really are just normal 20 something year olds still navigating the realms of dating and clubbing. Get ready for roasts, loads of inspo & help us uncover whether we've elected a fkboi as a mayor or not 👀👀

You're in for a treat!
