From an interview with clean energy champions in Malaysia to a piece with one of the Philippines biggest music stars about mental health, here are the articles our Gen.T editors enjoyed reading or writing the most this year
It's that time of the year again, where we look at what we've achieved, what we're grateful for and what we'd like to do next. This year, our team of editors have covered a spectrum of topics and issues, from rethinking how we address mental health issues to what makes an effective leader to the plight of sex workers.
Here are some of the articles they enjoyed reading or working on the most.
1. Musician and Actor Nadine Lustre On Music, Fame And Mental Health
Lee Williamson, regional editorial director
"My favourite thing about our podcast, Crazy Smart Asia, is that we get to go really long-form. We can take our time in an interview to get stuck into the issues that matter most to young leaders in Asia, to learn how some of the most successful people in their field have achieved what they have achieved—the decisions they have made and sacrifices they have had to make. I think of each season of the podcast as an audio toolkit for entrepreneurs.
Picking just one episode is almost too tough, but if I had to choose one I’d opt for the interview with musician and actor Nadine Lustre, just because of how incredibly brave she was in honestly discussing the full extent of her struggles with mental health. She leaves nothing on the table in a frank, no-holds-barred conversation, in the hope of reminding others in the same situation that they’re not alone."
