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 84: Episode 84: 4th Generation- Between Two Worlds with Sierra Katow & Taylor Chan
The Asian American identity & the stories that exist within our community are vast & extremely nuanced. The three of us have explored our own identities through various episodes (Episode 25: ABM-AsianBossMoms, Episode 63: APAHM - Growing Up in An Asian Household, Episode 64: My Asian Am Identity) with the lens of us specifically being 2nd gen Asian Americans. If you listened to those episodes, you heard us talk about our parents’ immigration stories and how we balance the culturally traditional side (that our parents pass down to us) with our western side (the environment we were raised in).
Today, we want to explore another identity within the Asian American experience...the stories and perspectives of people who are 4th generation. And to help us explore this topic, we have brought on 2 very special & familiar faces (and voices)…Comedian/Writer, Sierra Katow, and Director/Writer, Taylor Chan! Tune in to hear them share their stories about the feeling of growing up “in-between” two worlds.
