Melissa Leong, can you please be my new best friend? PART 2 of 2
PART 2: Who is she? You may of heard of her most recently through her appointment as the FIRST female judge on the biggest TV show in Australia and definitely the most successful of it’s franchise in the world – MASTERCHEF Australia! But there is way more to her than that, she’s been a freelance food and travel writer, food media consultant, radio broadcaster, television presenter on SBS’s the Chef’s Line, MC, cookbook editor and author for years – her work history almost mirrors her motto “will eat anything once”. Her rise to success hasn’t been as smooth as you’d imagine as she too has experienced adversity and severe downs on her rise up. In this podcast she is vulnerable and candid about her reservations on saying "yes" to the job of a lifetime (Masterchef), her view on family and having kids, how her Chinese Singaporean heritage shaped her, her mental health breakdown and time therapy, her views on fashion, diversity and inclusivity and oh, so much more. This woman’s intelligence, raw honesty, articulation and incredible ability to communicate truth is beautifully captivating AND she has personality for days! Trust me, you’re gonna wanna be her best friend after this. ENJOY.*Note - AS THIS A SPECIAL EDITION PODCAST (the launch and first) IT IS LENGTHIER THAN USUAL and split into two cards.
