Episode 108 - Body Banter with Stephanie Ng

Hong Kong local Stephanie Ng  founded Body Banter in 2016 after realising the powerful role that discussion and advocacy played in her own eating disorder recovery journey. Through providing opportunities for community-building, advocacy, and open discussion, she hopes that Body Banter can amplify the voices of individuals and empower them to be the driving forces behind creating a more accepting and accommodating world. 

In this conversation with Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics she shares how her fascination with the relationship between language and mental health has led her to her current Ph.D. studies in a joint program between the University of Hong Kong and local mental health charity Mind HK, where she is exploring how storytelling shapes the ways we view mental illness and recovery in the Hong Kong context.

Her work is internationally recognised, and has been featured on media platforms such as BBC, TEDx, Channel NewsAsia, Tatler Asia, NowTV, and Deutsche-Welle. She is the winner of the Young Changemaker Award at the American Chambers of Commerce Women of Influence Awards 2023, and the recipient of the Youth Award at Jessica Magazine's Most Successful Women Awards 2023.
