We dive in even deeper to two of them as we introduce special guestsChristine Alcalay ofChristine Alcalay Atelier and Jen Wang ofMing Yu Wang. Sarah chats with Christine and Jen about their fashion and jewelry companies, respectively, and what makes them stand out in the industry. Sarah also enjoys an oat milk latte and samples the tuna salad fromBlack Rail Coffee, an AAPI-owned café in Hoboken.
