Today, we have the pleasure of talking to Krizia Reyes, my Filipino sis and bestie since elementary. Krizia is the founder of “Reyes I Make Cakes”, a home owned baking business in Markham, Ontario, that specializes in baking different flavoured cupcakes, cakes, macaroons with an artistic twist.

From a Filipino sibling hobby to getting her talents recognized by two chefs, to recently being interviewed on Breakfast television, Krizia shares with us her journey of discovering her passion for baking, starting her own business, and her future plans on combining her anime interests with her baking!

It’s no surprise our culture has a huge impact on our upbringing and who we are today, especially as Asian Canadian women. Our Asian Canadian culture has influenced every area of our lives - from our education, career, relationship and life choices to our personalities, values and physical appearances.

Today, we have the pleasure of talking to Jocelyn C. Jocelyn is Canadian-born Chinese who grew up in a predominantly Asian community and was exposed to her cultural roots very early on.

Join us as we discuss the duality of west and eastern values, how it has impacted our experiences growing up, our thoughts on the lack of Asian representation in media and our reflection on the recent anti-Asian hate crimes.
