Today, I have a guest who I’ve known since high school- Crystal! This convo was extra neat because we caught up over a phone conversation for the
First time in 14 years! I knew she pursued law for awhile, then did a 180 and pursued art. She went into depth about growing up in a traditional asian
Household- where parents typically want you to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering, math). Going against it would upset many traditional
Asian parents and may face the possibility of being looked down upon, disowned etc. Crystal also talks about “Saving Face” in Chinese culture. We also
Share our experience with having tattoos, our family’s perception of them and having to hide them because of it.
This was a great chat- and dedicated to anyone who can relate to her story- regardless of what ethnicity you are. Thank you for sharing your story
Crystal!
