The Grand Café
|
The Grand Café is an educational soap opera, or "telenovela," created to teach immigrant women with limited English skills how to start their own businesses.
I served as the creator and Executive Producer for the series from 2002 - 2011. It was co-produced under C.E.O. Women, the non-profit I founded alongside with The Media Factory and Angelica Matsuno. Below are the trailers from the series. |
C.E.O. Women
|
Creating Economic Opportunities for Women (C.E.O. Women) was a non-profit organization I founded and ran from 2000 - 2011, to address systemic poverty and lack of income mobility faced by low-income immigrant and refugee women in the San Francisco Bay Area. The mission of C.E.O. Women was to create economic opportunities for low-income immigrant and refugee women through teaching English, communications and entrepreneurship skills.
Upon winding down C.E.O. Women, we open-sourced some of our assets, including our entrepreneurship curriculum. It is available here. |
What Inspires Me
|
I am deeply inspired and influenced by the arts, sports and dance. I went from being a member of the U.S. National Karate Team in my teens to a dancer of North Indian Kathak which I studied for 14 years. I also study Tahitian Ori (dance). I love using my body and movement to keep me balanced and able to manage stress.
I love to surf. I have found much happiness and empowerment in this sport via my connection to the ocean. It has also taught me a great deal in terms of how to manage my fears, and what flow means. I also LOVE to travel to surf and explore new cultures. I believe anything is possible, and strive to help my clients discover their possibility in their businesses and in their lives! |
