Melody Cheng, Helen Wu-Wang, and Janet Wang are the co-creators of AsianBossGirl, a multimedia company for the modern day Asian-American woman. AsianBossGirl was founded to share their experiences as 9-to-5 professional working women, balancing careers, social lives, cultural identities, and personal development while living in the city of Los Angeles. What started as a passion project podcast has turned into a multi-media business that they now run full-time. On their platforms, you’ll find conversations about the nuanced experience of being an Asian American woman navigating the corporate world as a person of color, mental and emotional health as children of immigrants, interviews with inspiring Asian women (and men), and even blind dates recorded on the mic. Their mission is to make everyday Asian-American women feel heard, seen, and connected.

episode 227: "Joy Ride" Is Unapologetically Raunchy & the First of Its Kind - ft. Sherry Cola
We had the amazing opportunity to watch “Joy Ride” at South by Southwest and attend the premiere in LA. Both times the movie had us laughing the entire time, but also tearing up at the underlying story of identity and female friendships. Joy Ride is the first of its kind – a film where Asian women get to be raunchy, funny, and imperfect on the big screen.
It is an honor to have Sherry Cola (aka Lolo in Joy Ride) join us on the podcast today. She’s a stand up comedian and actress with such a magnetic energy and infectious laughter. Sherry shares what it was like to grow up as a fish out of water, and how special it felt to make this movie.
Joy Ride is in theaters July 7, 2023!
