60. Immigrants: Asian Family x Food and Delicacies with Olivia Thai

Olivia Thai is a singer, entrepreneur, and talented Teochew American who shares her story and upbringing. Olivia and Mayly can definitely relate on a lot of the topics- from having to start being business minded at a young age to their elders expressing their love language through food.    “I remember when I first started working, like being old enough to work and I got a job and it was like a nine to five. Yeah, mom asked me she was like, why are you working? And I'll be like, because that's what you do. And she's like, no, that's what other people do. We own businesses. So, get to brainstorming. And you can work here for however long you need to but remember, you are going to work for yourself.”   Keynotes: Technicality is a technicality, but birthdays are supposedly about longevity It’s a privilege to be born in today’s generation Asia’s cultures and delicacies are truly broad   Connect with me: Email: [email protected] Business Website: www.donutprincessla.com YouTube: May / DONUT PRINCESS LA Apple Podcast: Short N' Sweet: A Donut Princess Podcast  Instagram: @donutprincessla / @maylytao Facebook: Donut Princess Los Angeles Twitter: Donut Princess LA  Tiktok: teochewdaily LinkedIn: May   *Help me self-publish my mom’s book about her journey to America: https://gofund.me/e2569649 *Watch the Donut King Film here: thedonutkingfilm.com (also available on Apple TV, Google Play, and Amazon Prime Now)
