Are you doing a 9-5 job that turns your life into grayscale? Yes, you earn the money you want. Yes, you learn something. Yes, you have a stable life. However, you don’t feel the energy. Would you like to make some changes?

Suzie said yes. Suzie is the first one in her family choosing a career in entertainment industry. She made the move during the pandemic. She moved to different places and finally ended up in Los Angeles. In addition, she became a voice actor, a job her family could not understand. Meanwhile, growing up in a family with Asian culture pressured her to listen to her parents and pick the safe track. How did she deal with that?
