HB Ep. 69: Niche Asian Content Creators
Youngmi talks with TikTok creator Royce Akifumi Wilmot about how he fell into his content niche, and more
This week, Youngmi chats with Royce Akifumi Wilmot (TikTok content creator, @shoshinboy) about their weird theories on content creation, authenticity, why people just watch other people talk while sitting in their cars, and music. Royce creates content on “classic rock” (music that was popular when Youngmi was in high school) and they discuss how he fell into this niche. He also discusses a sad story centered on his family’s personal experience with Japanese internment, and touches on how strange it feels to live in California, among forgotten historical landmarks of that era.
