In episode 71, Davina Vencatasamy talks to Denise Wong.


Originally from Hong Kong, Denise Wong MA BSc, is a self-employed
music therapist (HCPC-Registered) based in Bristol, UK. She works
with the Bath Aphasia Choir (Stroke Association), Soundwell and
NEHK, a community-led group for and by HongKongers living in the
UK. Denise appeared on the BAMT Racial Awareness Panel and took

This interview covers intersectional experiences of racial
stereotyping, sexism, ageism and ableism, including the word
‘yellow’ as a racial descriptor’, and what it feels like to be a
therapist from a minority racial and cultural background, both
when working with clients, and within teams of
professionals.
