Distrust and self-doubt are our most substantial limitations. Distrust in ourselves goes hand-in-hand with distrusting others. This is a life not fully realized but dictated by fear. Self-doubt often is frustrating, anxiety-inducing, scary as heck, and, for some, paralyzing.

My goal is to help you move through your fear—not to ignore your fear but acknowledge it as a life-long friend. It will always be a part of you. Thus, it’s essential to embrace it to live fully—a life with purpose and without regrets. The biggest risk in life is not taking one.

Through your fears, I’m also here to remind you that you already have everything necessary to re-love or fall in love with yourself. Consequentially, the flood gates will open to ownership of your desires, leading to courageous actions toward your dreams.

So trust your inner-voice and your abilities, no matter the outcome. As you likely have heard: It is not the destination but the journey that matters. Speaking from plenty of invaluable trials and errors, I couldn’t agree more. I am beyond grateful for every single one of them. Each one has been right on time.


Art Challenges Passive Culture

“Art challenges passive culture” is a quote by renowned artist Nicolas Bourriaud. It is a quote that struck me many years ago and affirmed my love and study of the arts. It truly embodies an arts nonprofit dear to my heart, Kearny Street Workshop.

Kearny Street Workshop is the oldest multidisciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organization in the United States. KSW was founded on racial, social, and economic injustices dealt by the Asian Pacific American community in the 1970s. This monumental historical precedence carries through in our values for equity, representation, and visibility through the arts today.

Join us tonight at 7 p.m. for our annual end-of-the-year virtual celebration honoring our community artists, allies, and greater community. We honor you. We thank you.

And through our silent auction, bid on your own commissioned portraits like the ones below by gifted artist Nina Asay or the Diving Coloring Book by brilliant design artist Christine Joy Ferrer. The unique art and gifts for yourself or that special someone is plentiful.

It’s a win, win! Attain a masterpiece for your home that I guarantee your guests will gush over. Then subsequently share how you won it at a silent auction fundraiser, which helps to sustain an incomparable arts nonprofit.


Thanks to you, we did it!

Community, thank you for coming through! It is because of you we surpassed our fundraising goal for five deserving women warriors!

Your donations are in the works. We are assembling each women warrior’s care packages, and they will be delivered to them by no later than early January 2021. These care packages will contain monetary gift cards to help with essential needs and individualized items for their well-being and the well-being of their families. Additionally, your gift for your donation is also in the works and should arrive by early January 2021 too.

We are only as strong as our community and this campaign couldn’t be more indicative. Your encouraging words pierce deeply, especially in 2020.
