Speaking 🎙I’m available for speaking engagements, such as podcasts, guest lectures, panels, and keynote speeches.
As a storyteller, I enjoy sharing stories about my journey from corporate to entrepreneurship, my perspectives on Asian America and independent publishing, how to cultivate a creative company culture, and my evolution as an activist. For fun, we can also chat about a smorgasbord of curiosities, ranging from the tarot to human design.
