Episode 19 - Angie Hong
EPISODE 19 w/ Angie hong
I am thrilled to have the fabulous and fierce Angie Hong as this week’s guest on Someday is Here. Angie is a gifted communicator, knowledgeable, and fun. Her leadership lesson nails it, especially as it relates to being an Asian American woman living in both eastern and western worlds. I really appreciated how we talked about new terms like double consciousness and hybridity as it relates to our ethnic journey. She also shares how southern culture is so similar to Asian culture. We talked about Asian leaders who have gone before us and then deep-dived and discussed fun topics like the popular show “Crash Landing On You.” I loved this conversation and I think you will too. Thank you for listening!

LEADERSHIP LESSON
We have more agency than we think we do. When you walk into spaces and are questioning who you are in that moment, don’t give your brain away. Your thoughts are valid. Your feelings are valid. You are not crazy and you are not alone.
