Jasmin's Tea: Being ABC and Gen-Z

LOL I'm back i guess, due to (not so popular) demand. Jasmin's Tea is back with not so much tea but a recap on 2020 self-growth and my 2021 goals. I talk about why I always hated making resolutions and hint at future episodes too. Let me know what you'd like to hear about next!

Sorry for ghosting y'all last week! I'm back with another one featuring my beautiful boss women friends from all different Asian American backgrounds. We talk about our attitudes towards having kids and careers, our families' gender role values, and even get into what it means to be a good parent in today's society.

We all know that friendships come and go, especially in college. Alec and I talk about our experiences with our expectations from freshman year up til now and how our two definitions of toxic friends are merged.

The title speaks for itself - ya girl IS NOT FINE. I know we're all been going through it but honestly, I have been only going downhill for the past two weeks, but it's okay to not be okay and I hope that if you're okay or not, you know that you have a lending ear here. I'm rooting 4 u friend.

This week, let's talk about MONEY. Especially growing up in Asian American, money was something I didn't know much about until I took it upon myself to not only create side hustles and get jobs against my traditional parents' wills but also took initiative to ask questions and educate myself.  It's kind of crazy to think about how everyone's concept of money is different due to their upbringing and environmental factors, but that shouldn't stop you from becoming less scared and learning more now!

Shweta and I reminisce about the good ole college days where we were able to go out and have some mediocre fun, even in the socially dead climate of UCI. We talk about frat parties, living together, having different outlooks and opinions on men, and debate on what to do when you know someone is cheating.

At this point, I've kind of given up on these descriptions lol but LET'S ALL STOP TO REFLECT on your own definitions of abg/abbs and how those understandings impact your self-image and relationships, or even how you approach people you don't know who may fall into this category even if "it's a compliment".  Branding ourselves in such a way perpetuates a society we continue to box ourselves in and where non-Asians can continue to box us too. I said what I said :/
