This week, Jojo was joined by Ivy Yang, the founder of the Wuhan Reboot Project, which aims to begin the rebuilding and healing process in the aftermath of the Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. Known as "The Chicago of China", Wuhan is a vibrant city of 11 million people with a rebellious history, diverse music scene, a delicious breakfast culture. Ivy and her dedicated team are determined to showcase the beauty and humanity of the city to shift the perception of Wuhanese and Chinese people around the world. In this episode, Ivy talks about her memories of Wuhan and all the committed community heroes that have volunteered to provide vital services on the ground - including her Auntie. It is clear Wuhan and its people are not going to let the virus define them. Efforts like the Wuhan Reboot project show that there is hope in the darkness and love is contagious. Tune in now!
