Hey Subscriber First Name,

We hope you’re healthy and taking care! Our lives were seemingly put on pause as the pandemic took the world by surprise; yet, we’ve experienced so much as individuals and as a global collective within our families, communities, work, and daily lives.

It took some time, but the team at AsianBossGirl is feeling more self-aware, resilient, hopeful, and open to change. With that spirit in mind, each newsletter from now on will highlight a theme based on what feels most relevant that month.

This month’s newsletter focuses on hope through the lens of entrepreneurship and careers. We’re settling into this “new normal” and refocusing our attention from mere survival to daring to dream again. Despite so many unknowns, we’re committed—to growth, learning, serving this beautiful community, and the courage to hope.

What keeps you hopeful?

With love,
Haemee

Mulan - As Asian American women who grew up with Mulan as our one and only relatable princess and badass Asian heroine, we have a soft place in our heart for the beloved animated classic. We were excited for the live-action remake, but also want to acknowledge the controversy around the film due to politics (Hong Kong police force towards pro-democracy demonstrators) and human rights violations (Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, China). Here are some links if you’d like to learn more: NPR: Disney Faces Backlash Over Live-Action Remake Of 'Mulan' • PBS: What is happening with Uighurs in China? • Journalist Noor’s Instagram caption overview

Our favorite SPF - Krave’s Beet Shield is a core part of our skincare regimen. We love that it’s non-greasy, doubles as a makeup primer, and doesn’t leave a white cast. And all for just $20 USD! Get it here.

Stay tuned for this week’s episode—our special guest is Krave’s founder and a YouTube favorite, Liah Yoo!! We’ll also be doing a special GIVEAWAY on our Instagram this week >> FOLLOW to be notified when the episode drops.

Naomi Osaka, who wore seven different masks while playing (and ultimately, winning) the US Open, each with the name of one Black victim of police brutality. Prior to the game, she shared her thoughts on Instagram, “before I am an athlete, I am a Black woman. And as a Black woman, I feel as though there are much more important matters at hand that need immediate attention, rather than watching me play tennis.”
