Listen Later

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage (AAPI) Month and we wanted to continue to highlight incredible leaders. We are so excited to have an entrepreneur and Donut Royalty with Mayly Tao, LA's self-proclaimed Donut Princess join Twins Talk it Up. Mayle is a serial entrepreneur, with several businesses including Donut Exotics and Donut Princess Los Angeles, a donut bouquet delivery concept. She is also the host of the Short N’ Sweet: A Donut Princess Podcast, where she explores mindset, women empowerment, and provides insight and tips for small businesses. Her family was also featured in the Donut King Documentary (thedonutkingfilm.com), telling the history of her family and the powerful story of Cambodian immigrants owning donut shops, beginning with her uncle Ted Ngoy.  


We ask Mayly to share talk about growing up in a family-owned business and the impact of brand identity and having a strong social media presence. We touch on the Cronut (DKronut) craze and what was next after selling DK Donuts. We ask Mayly to talk about the relationship she has with her mother and what inspired her book entitled, An American Dream, with Sprinkles: The Legacy Story of the Donut Queen & Donut Princess. You will be inspired by her mother's strength and learn about the atrocities she witnessed in Cambodia, and what her family had to go through to come to America.  The book describes generational differences and cultural importance, including the role of the Asian American woman in her family.


Pick up Mayly Tao's book entitled, An American Dream, with Sprinkles: The Legacy Story of the Donut Queen & Donut Princess. Subscribe to Short N' Sweet: A Donut Princess Podcast and support her small business visit www.donutprincessla.com/
