We're excited to attend the Asian American Business Development Center (AABDC)'s Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Awards Gala Dinner tomorrow 🙌 In its 18th year, the gala honors exemplary #AsianAmerican business professionals, with award recipients including Asian American entrepreneurs, professionals, and corporate executives, all of whom are industry leaders and trailblazers. Stay tuned as we cover a few of this year's female honorees in the upcoming weeks!
It's International #SushiDay! #Sushi is a staple in Japanese cuisine with a long history. In Japan, sushi is traditionally prepared with very simple ingredients such as fish or vegetables placed on top of rice and often wrapped in nori, or seaweed. When sushi came to America, new ingredients and combinations were introduced, creating the sushi we often see today such as the California roll. Tag a friend below who loves sushi 🍣
“A royal princess escapes her responsibilities to enjoy the city of Rome. Isn’t that how we all want to feel on holiday-royal and removed from life’s responsibilities?” As we transition from spring to summer, fashion editor @ivypayne shares tips on how to dress for the season’s festivities. Get some inspo from her “Roman Holiday” lookbook on mochimag.com. #MochiMag / 📸: @hansdestin
Our "Dear Mochi" advice column is back in time for #FathersDay. We answer a reader's question on what to do for Father's Day when your significant other's father has passed away. Do you celebrate or do you avoid the subject altogether? Though grief stays with us, it doesn't necessarily make us fragile, but gives us strength in the love we have for the person we've lost. Read our advice ahead of Father's Day on mochimag.com.⠀ ⠀ Have a situation you want Mochi’s take on? Write to us at advice@mochimag.com. #MochiMag #DearMochi
While Asians are typically underrepresented in the theater, we loved seeing #AsianRepresentation on the red carpet at @thetonyawards last night. Appearances on the red carpet included nominees @evanoblezada and @clintramos, who were nominated for their work in @hadestown and @torchsongbway respectively. For those of you that watched the show, what was your favorite part? #TonyAwards / 📷: Getty Images
The brainchild of @aliwong and @randallpark from their college years, #AlwaysBeMyMaybe is their own version of "When Harry Met Sally." Hilarious yet authentic, the film "welcomes familiar #AsianAmerican faces to familiar American tropes, without explicit intentions to diversity Hollywood or color a white-washed industry." Throughout the film, the characters never battle their culture, but instead, are proud of their heritage and examine it in deep and personal ways, making the film feel closer to home and affirming for fellow Asian Americans watching. For writer Catherine Zaw, "Rather, it is genuinely and simply a film made by Asian Americans with Asian Americans for Asian Americans." Read her full review for #MochiMag up on mochimag.com.
For business and life coach @arthur.kanai, life wasn't always full of success and achievement. His earlier days consisted of heavy drinking, sleeping on couches, and feeling hopeless and alone. In his effort to turn his life around, he realized he wanted to help others to do the same and now acts as a mentor on @bravotv's reality show #VanderpumpRules. Read his conversation with @jenniferduannfultz, where he shares his origin story and top five suggestions for successfully navigating your life at mochimag.com. #MochiMag / 📷: @noellewilliamsphotography
Our co-founder @meigga was recently featured on @bustle's Must Follow series for her dedication to championing #AsianRepresentation 🙌 She talks about her role as a principal co-founder of her latest project @goldhouseco, a collective of pioneering Asian founders, creative voices, and leaders in tech and media. "The Asian American community is diverse and hard to categorize, and as a result is often fragmented by different demographics, ethnicities, and generations. Regardless, it’s so important for Asian Americans to support each other so that our voices and perspectives are heard more broadly."

Filmmaker @wenderscolor first started experiencing mental health issues when she moved from Xiamen to Los Angeles at 12 years old to be with her mom. From that time all the way to her graduation from film school, she would always suppress her emotions and distract herself through schoolwork and filmmaking. Eventually Wendy opened up about her challenges when a friend also struggling with mental health issues reached out to her for advice. This open exchange of experiences inspired her to further the dialogue on mental health stigma in an upcoming documentary @thingsineversaidfilm, which will share the stories and mental health journeys of five #AsianAmerican individuals who open up about their experiences and struggles. Learn more about the project and how you can help at mochimag.com. #MochiMag
It's hard to believe, but Asian American actor @dallas_liu claims he wasn't as cool in middle school as the character he plays in Hulu's hit comedy series @pen15show, Shuji. "I was such a bookworm, a straight A student, a shy kid who didn't hang out with a ton of people," he says. Despite his claimed lack of popularity, he gained recognition for his talent in martial arts and prior to booking PEN15, he even showcased his karate skills in films such as "Tekken" and "Mortal Kombat: Legacy." In his feature, now on mochimag.com, Dallas talked to @treekachu about his acting goals and his experience filming season one of PEN15. #MochiMag
