Mayor Elizabeth Yang has had lots of ups and downs in her life, but her remarkable resilience is inspiring. She was raised by a single mom and graduated with a degree in Engineering/Computer Science from UC Berkeley at age 19. She worked in the aerospace industry, then pivoted to get her JD/MBA degree and started a patent law firm. She got married young and had two kids in her 20s, but the marriage ended in a messy divorce that drained her savings. She pivoted again to practice family law, starting the Yang Law Offices. Recently, she was elected to the Monterey Park City Council and is their acting mayor!

I had such a great time chatting with Monterey Park's mayor! For someone so accomplished, she's super down-to-earth and endearing. You can follow her @lizyangmpk on Instagram.

What started as a case of mistaken identity turned into a really fun hour of chatting with Dr. Joan Sung! Joan is an educator, author, and more recently a #baddaugther! The timing worked out where Joan was going to be in town, so we packed up the mobile studio and met up in SF, where we were able to talk about her book Kinda Korean, her movement called Bad Daughter Confessions, and lots more.

To learn more about Joan, you can go to https://drjoansung.com/, or her Instagram @alittlebitjoan or @baddaughterconfessions. Get her book Kinda Korean, wherever you get books!

The MARCH MADNESS of Asian Dishes is happening at On Waverly, Saturday 3/21 ~5:30 PM, or on Zoom. See the link in my bio on Instagram or send me an email.
