Meet this month's Spotlight EAGG member, Alison Lam. Alison is a neurodivergent, interdisciplinary and socially-engaged artist. We learn about her 'drawing with her hands' in mediums that include porcelain, metals, glass and paper and how motherhood has become intextricably intertwined with her art. Read all about it in the 14th in our series of interviews with inspirational EAGG members.
And 👭🏻 why she joined East Asian Girl Gang and what it has meant to her. Read the full interview here.

EAGG

🚀 there's been an exciting wind blowing through EAGG in this, the Year of the Horse. Our new membership model has already led to greater interactivity, some amazing new members and a glam group of Global Sisters. Check out our new membership page as we develop it to tap into what's coming next.
📆 ESEA Heritage Month continues! And the calendar is still full of fabulous events. Check it out HERE.
🥟 EAGG met up on an early autumn day for a dim sum lunch of connection and deliciousness. With members winging in from all over London and even Liverpool to catch up and share. These meet ups are a regular feature of EAGG and we encourage members to suggest events, eats, reads and more to the group so that we can all really enjoy the bonds this community brings.
🎓 EAGG were then off to Rebecca F. Kuang's panel talk on The Future of Education. We listened to a curated panel of thinkers trying to unpack the huge challenges redefining learning today. Opinions varied! All in all a provocative day out.
📣Founder, Eileen Wada Willett, is a speaker at the TEDxWoodLane conference on September 29th. Expect an exploration of human creativity in all its forms — the spark behind every invention, every act of courage, every idea that changes how we see the world.
💰 EAGG #GirlsJustWantToHaveFunds has kicked off for all those members who have a background in finance / banking / PE / trading to help those who do not!
💪🏼 EAGG is nothing without its Auntie Council. What does the Auntie Council do? We Aunties are here to help EAGG grow and thrive, but with personal boundaries solidly in place! If you are interested in being an EAGG Auntie, just contact us

👭 👭 👭 What began as a small gathering of three women in 2022 has blossomed into a vibrant community of over 50 remarkable individuals. The East Asian Girl Gang (EAGG) brings together women from across Britain who share East Asian (and a few South-East Asian) roots, spanning an extraordinary range of professions—from the creative realms of fashion and art and ballet to the precision worlds of science and finance and entrepreneurship. 👭 👭 👭 Beyond our diverse career paths, we've discovered something more profound: the unexpected connections and shared experiences that unite us. When I first envisioned EAGG, my goal was simple yet meaningful—to create a space where women of all ages could forge genuine friendships, amplify our collective voice, celebrate each other's achievements, and provide mutual support based on our shared heritage. Now, watching the group evolve, I'm struck by how beautifully we've already begun to realize that vision. Sign up for our newsletter where we'll be doing our regular round up for our favourite books, eats and events for the upcoming months. So many things, so little time!

TEDxWoodLaneWomen

EAGG Founder, Eileen Wada Willett was a TEDx speaker at this year's TEDxWoodLaneWomen 2026 Conference.

The conference centered around the expansive theme of 'Human Creativity' and talks were wide-ranging. With more than a nod to EAGG, Eileen's talk (no notes allowed!) focussed in on four key Japanese concepts, that can help unlock and unleash innate everyone's creative.
