On this episode, I have a heart-to-heart with Vivian Chan, co-founder of a fashion company called East Meets Dress. Along with her best friend and co-founder, they design modern Chinese wedding dresses, or cheongsams, for Asian Americans. We talk about her experiences growing up with a single mother, how coming out to her friends was a totally different experience than with her family, and why she decided not to pursue med school after going to Yale for pre-med.

14. Chatting with Tanya Zhang, Fashion Entrepreneur

This is a show about Asians who didn’t become doctors, lawyers, or engineers. I’m Angie Hom, I'm Chinese-American, and I have meaningful conversations with Asian Americans who break the stereotypes.

I get to talk to interesting folks who balance two different cultures while staying authentic to themselves. We talk about the small stuff like pursuing unconventional careers, culture clashes, disappointing parents, and our SAT scores. Just kidding on the scores.
