In this episode, Judy Tsuei discusses the importance of mental health and overcoming cultural norms with Misa Chen, the founder of The Authentic Asian. These two powerful founders explore the biases and stereotypes faced by Asian American women in business and the need for a supportive community. They're direct, honest, and authentic as they encourage AANHPI women everywhere to embrace individuality and break free from societal expectations.
As a former model who graced the runway for brands like Neutrogena and Target, Misa highlights the impact of representation in media. She has the distinction of being ranked as the 23rd most viewed woman on LinkedIn worldwide and #1 most viewed Asian American woman nationwide with 16 million+ views per month.
Her past speaking clients include Harvard Business School, UCLA, USC, and the University of Washington. She has been featured in Inc. Magazine's 30 under 30 Entrepreneurs, Forbes Women to Watch, LinkedIn Top Voices, and as a serial entrepreneur on the Food Network’s Great Food Truck Race embarrassing herself in front of over 60 million viewers worldwide.
