Ep.10: "Wo-Men" Series Part 4 - With the Body

This is the fourth and final installment of The Spark’s “Wo-men” series, celebrating Women’s History Month. In this episode, Meg and Amy walk you through their own personal journeys in finding their relationships with their bodies as women. Amy shares her confusion with her body due to the lack of sex education, and Meg shares how her relationship with her body was shaped by the emphasis on her beauty and outside expectations. Different journeys, same destination - shame around their bodies.

这是为了庆祝国际妇女历史月而特制的“我们”系列的最后一集。在这集中,Meg 和 Amy 将带领听众,回顾两人作为女性,在不同的环境下,对各自身体进行探索的波折旅程。Amy 分享了因为缺少性教育而导致的对其身体的困惑和惶恐;而Meg 分享了外界的期望和导向是如何影响和扭曲了她和其身体的关系。虽然我们经历了不同的旅程,但是我们得到了相同的结果 - ”羞耻“二字不论在任何文化中,都与”身体“二字紧紧相连。

The Spark Podcast
The Spark is a podcast that explores what it means to traverse cultures and share stories that intersect Chinese and American culture to interrupt barriers and create connections.
The Spark is a cultural haven - A space held by a friendship between two women from two different countries, meeting at the point where their cultures, identities and stories intersect. Their conversations are grounded in transparency as they move beyond previous perceptions and ideas of the other to form deep connections as human beings first.
这是一个由两个来自不同文化背景的女生创造的广播平台。Amy Tianyi Zhao (微博:赵枣儿Amy)虽然来自中国,但她的教育背景和生活履历让她与西方文化产生了强烈的共鸣。Megan Dowaliby 虽然来自美国,但来自中国的老公让她对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣。两个完全不同的女生在一张传统中国餐桌上相遇。语言的交流引发了思想的碰撞。在那次晚餐两年后的今天,火花电台诞生。我们相信,一个人的国籍,以及其居住地并不能代表TA的文化身份。在一个全球化的时代,我们在不同文化中看到自己的影子,每个人都可能是很多文化交流和互动的产物。我们希望通过她们的对话和讨论,加深人们对“跨文化”身份的认同,赋予人们了解世界的激情和力量,最终达到促进世界,尤其是中美两国互相理解的进程。
