KJ and her friend, illustrator and author Dingding Hu welcome community over competition by meeting a couple times a month to churn on seedlings of ideas and current experiences. Hailing from China, Dingding is currently based in New York City and she specializes in drawing bubbly characters as well as serendipitous storytelling all of which can be found at her studio and site Hu Is Hungry.
KJ and Dingding discovered the riches of consistent jam sessions as artists, Asian women business owners, trying to form safe spaces for all of us “Weirdo Kids” (coined in KJ and Dingding's first Story Exchange, Episode 43) to gather and riff on concepts that build up instead of tearing down.
Compassionate Considerations
- Curiosity and collaboration may be the antidote to fears
- Seek reframe opportunities in all feedback (or any "Unsubscribes")
- Flip the negative self-talk by noticing the overwhelming evidence supporting The Good that you already do
