This week’s episode celebrates Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month with Vietnamese-American R&B singer-songwriter thuy.

In the episode, thuy mentions how Britney Spears inspired her to pursue a career in music  by stating: “Britney Spears was honestly the reason why I wanted to become a pop star in the first place.  I remember when her first album came out, ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’, and I don't know what was going on in that little eight-year-old mind. But I just remember seeing her on stage and just knowing that that was what I wanted to do…And I even remember after coming home from school, I would go in the back house and I would have her CD on replay in my little boom box and the garage would be down and be super dark, and I would pretend that I was on stage.”
