Episode 28: Small Steps Create Big Movements [Featuring Grace Wolk]
During this episode, I speak with Grace Wolk, a Filipino-American therapist and entrepreneur in California.
Grace and I talk about her journey as a BIPOC, being "uprooted" from the Philippines and moving to California, and the daily discrimination, racism, and microaggressions that she's endured.
We talk about...
- Taking up space, and the importance of allowing yourself to do so, even when it's scary
- Grace's passion for Hula dancing and why it's so powerful — tiny steps that lead to something synchronistic and beautiful
- Being a Filipino therapist and entrepreneur and doing things differently
- The racism and microaggressions that Asian Americans face on a daily basis
- Cultural expectations and intersectionality
