Yvonne Chapman is a talented Chinese Canadian actress from Street Legal, Family Law and she’s most known for being the complicated, ass kicking anti-hero Zhilan on the CW’s KUNG FU. She has guested twice before on Reppin, where she shared how she gambled a stable, lucrative career in finance in pursuit of her dream to be an actress. Yvonne talked about being on a show that features an all Asian cast, the importance of representation and how a cab driver gave her precious advice that changed her life. Yvonne shared how she had wrestled with self doubt, pressures of expectations, the importance of community and collaboration. Here on her return —Yvonne talks more about being on Kung Fu, her character Zhilan and how she's grown. But Yvonne also really allows us into her personal life and opens up on the major life changes she’s struggled with in the past several years. And you'll hear IF she’s been able to process and reconcile all of it.

You're right to think the first two episodes with Yvonne were deep. But get ready- this one is the MOST personal, real and contemplative conversation we’ve had on the show.

Find out what this talented, amazing actress has been going through in her real life, how much heart and courage she displays in her real life, how she’s trying to manage the seismic shifts she had to go through. And perhaps if what she’s doing in her life—can help you with your own self growth.
