Hong Kong Women in Publishing Society (WiPS) committee member, executive coach and writer Rinkoo Ramchandani and I recently spent a lovely morning on live radio speaking with Noreen Mir on her RTHK Radio 3 show, Brunch with Noreen. We shared our experiences as members of WiPS as well as the background of the organization, how WiPS has evolved throughout its 25-year history, and what WiPS offers to women creatives in Hong Kong. We chatted about the latest WiPS anthology, Imprint 23, with particular focus on the cover art, “Spilled Tea” (created by me) and a reading of an excerpt of a short story, “Dragon Garden” (written by librarian, podcaster and WiPS member, Julia Besnard). It was the first time I’d ever been on live radio, so I was terribly nervous, but Noreen’s warm and engaging personality put me at ease and the time just flew by.
