A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: In May of 2020 I interviewed Valerie Soe and Kristina Wong about the Auntie Sewing Squad, a sewing circle that was formed on March 24th during the global Coronavirus pandemic. Initially the group sewed masks for frontline medical and essential workers, and then for vulnerable marginalized communities. From the outset, Kristina described the Auntie Sewing Squad as a stop gap measure, and said that she had no intention of turning it into a nonprofit. In fact, she stated that the nature of what the Auntie Sewing Squad does is not sustainable in the long run and that the goal would be for the group to eventually retire. The work of the Auntie Sewing Squad, has gone beyond mask making. So, when I learned that the Auntie Sewing Squad had set a date to retire, I had to invite Valerie and Kristina back on to talk about the Auntie Sewing Squad's retirement.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Why and when the Auntie Sewing Squad is going into retirement The work that the Auntie Sewing Squad has done aside from sewing masks How the Auntie Sewing Squad is spending $10,000 on N-95 masks for farmworkers who have to work during the wildfires How Kristina and the Auntie Sewing Squad allocates food and supplies from the L.A. food bank to communities in need The Super Aunties of the Auntie Sewing Squad How the Auntie Sewing Squad is not the alternative to FEMA The other ways that Aunties are trying to support communities in need Dealing with the recent passing of Auntie Sally Super Auntie Constance Parng's breakout case of COVID How Kristina has been able to do more to affect change as an Auntie than an elected official The statement that the Auntie Sewing Squad put out after the Atlanta Spa Shootings The book about the Auntie Sewing Squad that will be coming out this fall (The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice) The full-length documentary being made about the Auntie Sewing Squad (We Go Down Sewing) How COVID hospitalizations have affected people in need of other medical treatments/procedures The Auntie Sewing Squad retirement party How the Auntie Sewing Squad is nonhierarchical The term mutual aid The unique community and bonds that have formed amongst the Aunties and members of Auntie Sewing Squad What will happen to the group after it retires, and will the community still exist online Kristina's show about the Auntie Sewing Squad which is set to be performed in New York in November   Related Links:   The Auntie Sewing Squad's website: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/   The Auntie Sewing Squad on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/AuntieSewing   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2764362993676831/   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/auntiesewing   The Auntie Sewing Squad's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrlwkZu_l6F1d9D_M5ZnGQ   The Auntie Sewing Squad's book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice, 30% off code 17M6662, valid for UC Press website only: https://bit.ly/3iwyEBb   The Auntie Sewing Squad's HQ (list of notable Aunties): http://auntiesewingsquad.com/about/what-is-hq/   FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/   World Harvest Food Bank: https://www.worldharvestla.org/   Mutual Aid:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_aid_(organization_theory)   Super Auntie Constance Parng's Talking Taiwan interview: https://talkingtaiwan.com/constance-parng-super-auntie-to-native-nations-of-the-auntie-sewing-squad-ep-108/   Atlanta Spa Shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings   The Auntie Sewing Squad's Statement on Rising Anti-Asian Hate and Violence: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/blog-posts/anti-aapi-hate-statement/   Kristina Wong's website: http://kristinawong.com/   Kristina Wong's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ilovekristinawong/   Kristina Wong's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVB9L   Valerie Soe's blog: https://beyondasiaphilia.com/   Valerie Soe's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Valerie-Soe-1397194727164610   Valerie's previous Talking Taiwan interview about her documentary film, Love Boat Taiwan: https://talkingtaiwan.com/love-boat-taiwan-interview-asian-american-studies-professor-film-maker-valerie-soe-ep-66/   Talking Taiwan Episode 75: Auntie Sewing Squad Combats Covid-19 One Mask at a Time: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-combats-covid-19-one-mask-at-a-time-ep-75/ Talking Taiwan Episode 107: Auntie Sewing Squad 2: Supporting Communities On the Fringe Through Caring: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-2-supporting-communities-on-the-fringe-through-caring-ep-107/

Learn why networking in real estate and building top-of-mind relationships with past clients can be a powerful lead gen edge with guest Kristina Paces. Hear insights about: How Kristina’s early career in news and PR taught her that she wanted to work for herself, and how she discovered a passion for real estate How some early struggles in her real estate career gave Kristina a powerful push to educate herself and succeed, and how her career growth took off as a result How Kristina was able to achieve her best year ever even during the challenges of the global pandemic, with her team of 3 doing 20+ transactions from May 2020 to September 2020 Why networking in real estate with past clients has proven to be a powerful way to drum up new business for Kristina, and why staying top-of-mind is critical How building out a small but capable team allowed Kristina to free up some of her time and responsibility How Kristina transitioned from her previous firm to her current role, and how Kristina’s expectations have evolved with the transition Why the reduced volume in Kristina’s work allows her to focus without feeling overwhelmed and give 100% to the work she does Why it is important to challenge yourself and do whatever it takes early in your career until you begin finding success and finding what clicks for you Why Kristina feels fortunate to be at a point in her career where she can choose who she does and doesn’t want to work with Why personal branding is an important leverage point and asset, and why working for a forward-thinking, innovative agency is a point of pride for Kristina Networking in Real Estate Kristina Paces is a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker at SERHANT with more than a decade of experience in the highly competitive and challenging Manhattan real estate market. In this episode of Pursuing Freedom, Kristina shares her career journey and explains why great networking in real estate, personal branding, and staying top-of-mind with past clients has been a powerful way to drum up new business. She also shares how she had her biggest year ever even in the midst of the pandemic. And she shares why the early career hustle can give way to more measured, focused work and a lot more freedom! Networking in Real Estate: Why It Matters As you can imagine, New York City is the most competitive real estate market in the world. However, Kristina has been able to find tremendous success, particularly because she believes in forming lasting relationships with her clients. Then, when times are slow, she can often drum up new business opportunities just by picking up the phone and checking in with them! Kristina is able to leverage her network and her personal brand to ensure that she doesn’t have to constantly hustle anymore and can instead pick and choose who to work with. And because she has a trusted team, Kristina is able to focus on the work she’s truly passionate about. Avoiding Feeling Overwhelmed Early in your career as a real estate agent, you don’t usually have the option to say no. You’ve got to work long, hard hours chasing down every possible opportunity. But — as your reputation builds and your career progresses, you begin to find the freedom to pursue the work you want to do and truly focus on what you’re passionate about, without feeling like you’re drowning in work. Networking in real estate and building a strong personal brand can help you get your name out there, creating new opportunities and freeing you from the “always on” grind. For Kristina Paces, maintaining those relationships with past clients has been crucial for minimizing the pressure she’s under day-to-day. That’s a valuable lesson! About Kristina Paces Kristina Paces is a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker at SERHANT. She has over a decade of industry experience in the world’s toughest market, and at her previous brokerage she led a top-performing team and she consistently ranked in the top 4% of all agents in terms of overall production. Kristina’s clients value her commitment to their real estate goals as well as her professionalism and ability to develop and maintain long-term relationships. She is extremely thorough when assessing client requests, and her persistence and attention to detail give her clients a sense of comfort and reassurance during what can often be an intricate and drawn-out process. Her advice and guidance are informed not only by her fifteen years as an agent but by her own experiences as a homeowner and investor as well. Whether she’s helping a young family sell their first home, working with a buyer on an investment property, or consulting with a developer on marketing strategy, Kristina ensures that her clients feel taken care of and are put in the best position to succeed. “There is no better feeling than having a client refer their friends and family to me,” she says. “That’s a sign that I did a great job for them, and that they trust me to work with the people they love. If I am very lucky, I will wind up working with this client and their referrals for years to come.” Originally from Westchester County, Kristina currently resides in Manhattan’s Financial District. She owns properties on Cape Cod and in Upstate New York. She is an avid runner and competes in marathons, and she loves exploring Downtown Manhattan.

And what major announcement is Valerie going to make about yet another off-shoot project? You might want to go back and listen to episode 75 first or at least read this description of the Auntie Sewing Squad from their website:   The Auntie Sewing Squad was founded on March 24, 2020 by performance artist and comedian Kristina Wong as a casual effort to connect with other friends sewing homemade masks for essential workers due to the Federal Government’s failure to prepare them with proper personal protective equipment.   Auntie Sewing Squad has been featured on CNN, NBC, KCRW, Washington Post, Good Morning America and many more.

In this episode of Group Chat Realness, we talk to the ladies of The Confident Collective, Kristina Zias, and Raeann Langas. Whether you want to call them curvy, plus-size, or just plain gorgeous, these models exude an energy that turns heads and gets them oohed and aahed over on Instagram and everywhere else they go. The two talk to Sophie and Venita about the journey of starting their personal brands and business, breaking the stereotypical influencer molds, and having to consistently pump out creative content. They get into their experiences of quarantine-life, sharing how it surprisingly flared up their creativity yet complicated their work-life balance even further — because being shut up at home isn’t exactly a vacation when a large chunk of your work requires social media engagement. Joining in, listeners will get Kristina and Raeann’s perspectives on being pregnant and/or single when social distancing is suddenly a thing, the importance of having self-respect, and when it is (and is not) okay to use the F-word. Be sure to tune in for some more realness and laughter with Venita A and Sophie G! Key Points From This Episode: Our guests talk about how they started their online-offline business, The Confident Collective. Find out how being yourself and disrupting the norm can serve your career. How Kristina and Raeann add value to and help people become their best selves. Consistency and other requirements for hustling successfully in the content creation space. Advice about being bold and maintaining the work-life balance as a social media influencer. Keeping the momentum versus slowing down to reflect and regroup during COVID-19. Thoughts on how the pandemic has changed us and whether we would go back to “normal”.

Masks have become a polarizing political symbol in our society this year. Opinions on them have changed and developed throughout the entirety of COVID-19, but they are still quite divisive. Depending on our backgrounds, experiences, and personal perspectives, we all view this tiny piece of cloth in a different way. That is why I wanted to have a conversation today with my friend and repeat guest, Kristina Wong.  Kristina is the creator of Radical Cram School, a social justice school on YouTube for girls of color. She is also a performance artist and Muslim-elected representative in Koreatown in LA. When the pandemic first hit in America, she began making masks for the homeless and others who were immunocompromised and had no access to masks. This led to countless requests and the eventual creation of the Facebook group, Auntie Sewing Squad. In today’s episode, we talk about both of our experiences with masks during COVID-19, as well as what we are doing to help. If you are interested in learning more about what it has been like to be an Asian American during this time, listen in to the amazing insights and stories Kristina shares. Show Highlights: Our personal experiences with masks and COVID-19 in general. How Kristina got started sewing masks for the less fortunate. An explanation of the term “auntie” in Asian culture. The transformation and current culture of the Auntie Sewing Squad group. How Kristina has valued the women of color in her sewing squad. How I have recruited children to help the vulnerable with my mass sewing camp. How to support the Auntie Sewing Squad.

Kirstina Zhao calls San Antonio, TX home. Prior to taking over the family restaurant, Sichuan House, Kristina was being groomed for the medical field... that didn't happen. Zhao ended up at the University of Texas where she studied Communications and Public Relations. Next, she went into the wireless industry on the B2B side. In 2015, Kristina came back home to San Antonio to help her father with the family restaurant. It didn't take long for her to get her millennial hands knuckle deep into the day-to-day operations. 5 years later she runs the show. Kristina came on my radar by way of Anna Tauzin.

If you want to be successful in China’s booming market, you have to be flexible in your approach and decisive in your market-entry.

Through simple ritual, deeper clarity, and a multitude of spiritual tools- she supports women in the discovery of self and purpose. By weaving spirituality and business she leads soul fueled ceos to embodying their calling with greater ease and trust. On the Pod, We Discuss: The concept of bringing real intention back into our regular rituals What happens when we get disconnected from our intuition/heart Why we don’t need to dedicate a huge amount of time to a spiritual practice How Kristina helps the women she works with integrate rituals into their daily life Why “busy” is a word we often use to feel important, when really it’s a detraction from our opportunity to fully live our lives with joy Kristina’s career/life trajectory and how she evolved into the life she has now Why we sometimes snuff down a nagging discontent by abusing our bodies in some way - in Kristina’s case with alcohol - and how she moved through it How to enjoy change, and why rituals can help us move through it more gracefully The types of rituals Kristina introduces people to: such as using sage, meditation, moon ceremonies, etc., and how to find what works best for you Why we’re starting to see more interconnection in the world, and what makes a huge difference for our energy levels How to deal if there’s a lot of toxic, negative energy at your company Why we don’t need to take our rituals so seriously or hit rock bottom to have a spiritual practice Crystals: how to use them intentionally and their purpose How Kristina marries spiritually and business in her program, and why connecting the two brings a certain centeredness into our work, especially for entrepreneurs Why everything else falls into place once we work on our own happiness first, despite the opposite formula is typically ingrained in us How complacency shows up in different areas of our lives And much more Whether or not entrepreneurship and the personal growth track is an innate trait or environmental Helpful Links: Kristina’s beautiful website Get her free Rose Quartz Crystal Class to learn how to use your crystals!

Kristina Botelho had every reason to fail. Between a challenging youth where she was in and out of foster homes, becoming a teenage mother, and the general challenges of starting and running a business, this woman had a lot on her plate in all senses of the word. However, she knew at a young age that her story was one that was going to be big, bold, and thankfully — not normal. Today, she joins the Inner Circle to share her own experience of changing her thought patterns to manifest into tangible success, and why we should all accept nothing less than greatness in ourselves and our experience in the world. She also talks about how plant-based foods changed her life so much that she now has one of the tastiest and thriving plant-based businesses in Edmonton, Kb&co.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Where it all began for Kristina in B.C., where she was raised in a large family that moved a lot and experienced much financial hardship. A very honest and open description of her early relationship with her own mother, her foster homes and how she was pretty much on her own by the 7th grade. The way being in foster care inspired her to be the best mom she could be and show her own children the life she always dreamed of. What partying looked like for her. Not at the typical age, but at the very young age of 11. Why Kristina thinks she didn't follow the “typical” path, and how our past does not define our future. Her experience of becoming a young mother, which resulted in her moving with her husband to Edmonton. How she began her business career and worked up enough nerve to purchase a Quiznos franchise by the age of 20, and what she learned right away from entering this fast-paced new world. How Kristina mixed her own love of a plant-based diet with her entrepreneurial dreams and business sense. More about her own discovery that a plant-based diet worked wonders for clearing her health issues, and why she is so passionate about whole foods. Her meditation and visualization practices, and the real-life ways they have benefitted her. The most popular dishes at Kb&co. Yum! How she changed the story she was telling herself about money to reflect abundance. Quotes: “I was 11 going on 19.” “I wanted to prove to people that I could be somebody, and I could do something with my life.” “I've always been a dreamer, and I've always wanted big things.” “The easy part is giving up, and that option never existed.” “Trust your gut, and stay in your own lane.” “I need to be hands on. I love to sweep and mop, I love to clean, I love to be in the kitchen.” “The greatest compliment someone can give me? That they love the food.” Mentioned: Kb&co.

Within the Trenches is back with episode 29! This episode was recorded at the National NENA Conference and Expo at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Kristina and Shelley of Bartlett PD in Tennessee and Rob of Queensland Police Service located in Brisbane, Australia. In this episode we share first time calls, the importance of knowing your location and the stress that comes with working in the 9-1-1 profession. All of the episodes I recorded while I was here were great but I made a personal bond with this group throughout my stay in North Carolina so it made this episode special. You will also have a lot to take away from this because of the amount of great information on here. As always you can email the show at thejcast@thejabberlog.com.
