Fifth Generation Jenny Agnew
Manage episode 334645816 series 2994624
Fifth Generation Kiwi, Jenny Agnew, welcomed fellow 5th Generation Kiwi Penny into her home to chat all about what it is to be a Chinese New Zealander. A descendant of Choie Sew Hoy who moved to NZ in 1869, Jenny was recently awarded a Queen's Service Medal along with her husband Trevor, for their research into her ancestor. She talked to Penny about her menopause, about arriving at school without knowing a word of English, her pride in her four daughters and about the excretions of menopausal Italian Nuns. As you do. #smashthepatriarchy
She is also the "sister-in-love" of my first ever Showy Ovaries guest, Pinky Agnew.

Special thanks to Jenny for trusting Penny to talk about such personal matters for the first time.
