After being closed for months during the pandemic the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has reopened. Some of it's newest acquisitions include George Washington's tea chest from China and the blue gown from 'Crazy Rich Asians'. They are among several objects on display that tell the ever changing Asian American story and struggle in the US. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have played key roles in shaping America's past in work, culture, politics and entertainment. Recently Angie joined a group of scholars, advocates and curators for a special night of sharing stories and amazing artifacts that can now be seen at the American History Museum. This week's show is an excerpt from the Smithsonian program.

This week we go beyond the bling and straight to the heart of one of Netflix's newest reality stars, Bling Empire's Kane Lim. The Singaporean real-estate entrepreneur won fans over with his bubbly personality, insane style and genuine compassion for others. Kane joined me to talk about the sudden fame, living rich but lacking inner wealth for a long time. We dive into a dark chapter of his life that led him to finding a spiritual path that changed his life forever. With an even more glamorous SEASON 2 in the works right now Kane says the series will also take on more serious issues like anti-asian prejudice. He shares his personal story of being a victim of a racially charged attack and what can be done to stop the hate. And of course he dishes on his castmates and storylines that left us with a lot of questions at the end of Season 1. We also get a tour of his incredible shoe collection -- which by the way is so big it sits in his living room!

How do you go from almost going broke to becoming a billionaire? Jamie Kern Lima will tell you it's not easy but it is possible because it happened to her. The founder It Cosmetics and the first-ever female CEO of L'Oreal opens up about letting the dream of being a journalist go to follow a calling to change women's lives. Before she sold her cosmetic company (she started in her small LIVING ROOM!) to L'Oreal for $1.2 billion dollars cash Jamie was a local TV reporter struggling with a sensitive skin issue. After trying everything she could to cover it up she realized there was nothing on the market for people like her and as she would find out millions of others. Jamie would go on to create a makeup brand that is still inspiring women all over the world to live their life with love and confidence. It's a success story filled with years of no's, rejection, more no's, personal insults, mean girls, financial instability… pretty much everything that would make anyone want to give up on their dream. How did Jamie push through the self doubt? How did she stay true to herself and make one of the hardest decisions in her life when everything was on the line by doing something we all should do more often: follow your gut. On the Oh My Goff Podcast the powerhouse CEO who has perhaps one of the biggest hearts ever is now telling her remarkable story and sharing her tips for success in her first book "Believe IT: How to Go from Underestimate to Unstoppable".
