When was the last time you felt out of place?
 Despite being the third largest ethnic grouping in Scotland, the Scottish Chinese community remains largely invisible to mainstream media and, even though many have lived in Scotland for years, they still feel out of place.
By inviting you to look beyond the ordering hatch of your local Chinese takeaway, Lyly Fong shines a spotlight on the Scottish Chinese community and explores social cohesion, racial integration and community by sharing the stories and experiences of her friends and family.
Originally from Buckie in the north-east of Scotland, Lyly Fong is the Corporate Website Manager at Sanofi and has more than a decade of international experience in marketing and communications across multiple sectors.

Outside of her professional life, Lyly is a member of the GlobalScot Network and the Scottish Black and People of Colour Writers Network. She was also the 2019 Winner of the Toulmin Prize by the Elphinstone Institute, a centre for the study of Ethnology, Folklore, and Ethnomusicology at the University of Aberdeen. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
