What does it look like for Asian women and gender non-binary creators to flourish and thrive?

Growing up as an Asian woman in America, I’ve felt like I’ve been pulled in so many different ways. At home, it was expected that I would take on more of the domestic responsibilities like cooking and cleaning, and then…

Instagram post 2187533660444766611_246380162 Happy Thanksgiving y’all! In past years, we’d always buy everything in a box or premade (chicken from Costco, stovetop stuffing, premade pies, instant mac n cheese). This year @x3trang really wanted to make everything ourselves so we gave it a try. Everything turned out amazing and it was totally worth it even if it meant way more hours spent cooking. Huge props to my lil sis for being head chef while I took chopping duty. Should my sister start a food blog? Yes or yes?

If you’re ever in Oahu and want to see a luau, I highly recommend @chiefsluau! Everyone was so friendly, it was interactive, the show was amazing, and Chief is a fantastic emcee that kept us laughing and also educated us on the culture.

Instagram post 2124436884947342177_246380162 This past weekend I went with my brother (@financeoholic) to the US Open for the first time. We got to see Nadal 🇪🇸!! The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the weather was perfect. I loveeeee watching professional athletes compete because their dedication to the game physically and mentally is so inspiring ✨

Instagram post 2053077703284061587_246380162 Last week I turned 29 😱! Instead of doing anything big or going anywhere, I had a nice dinner and spent the weekend with my family in Virginia.

When I was young, I thought I’d be married with kids by 25, have a house with a nice yard, and have my own cubicle. I’m not married, I don’t have kids, I can’t see myself buying a house (maybe a condo), and I can’t believe my vision of success back then was to have my own cubicle 😂 (tbh, open offices aren’t great, so I wouldn’t mind my own cubicle now). Maybe I haven’t achieved my old version of success, but what I have now is so much better than what I would’ve ever been able to imagine for myself. I’ve lived in Japan, I live in New York City, I get to travel the world with family, I run marathons, and most importantly, my relationship with my family is the best it’s ever been.

I used to think 29 was old, but it feels like my journey has just begun ☺️
Instagram post 2042569785438693162_246380162 Happy Mother’s Day to the most badass woman in my life. No amount of words can fully portray how much love and respect I have for my mom. My mom has sacrificed so much and worked so hard to raise me into who I am today. When I was a kid, my uncles told me to grow up and marry someone rich. My mom, on the other hand, told me to become rich myself. Don’t worry mom, I’m still working on it.
