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 7: ABBBG - Asian Beauty, Boobie, and Booty Goals
As Asian women, we typically feel pressures to conform to society’s westernized beauty standards based on gender and race. From the shade of our skin to the size of our eyes, we are often scrutinized by family and media when we don’t fit into the mold of one’s beauty expectations. In this episode, we talk through our experience in dealing with this notion of “Asian beauty”. What is it, exactly? How has a tiny fold on top of our eyes become part of our privilege? How have Aaliyah, Jessica Biel, and Jolin Tsai shaped us into the women we are today? Grab some SPF (or tanning lotion) and join us, as we share our unique experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/message
