I was recently featured on my friend Maria's channel for a unique acrylic painting experience! Think "Wine and paint night" but when you create something you're actually proud of. @lifeofluba joined in on the fun as well!
Check it out for yourself on Maria's channel and if you want to participate in one of these painting experiences, make sure to follow Maria on Instagram to hear about when classes will drop!

My friend @EricWen helps YouTuber's clarify their niche and better communicate about their message through values based frameworks. I worked with Eric to see what that looked like for my channel and for this community. The video is live which shows clips from our coaching session. It's a realllllly good one!
In Eric's words:
This video is pieced together from consulting calls focused on Clarifying Your Youtube Storytelling. This episode is focused on mission, what questions do we need to ask ourselves to get new insights into who we are, how we’re special and how we can tell our story in a clear, concise and compelling way on Youtube.

👋 Helllllllllllo everyone!
I'm posting a new video tomorrow morning YES! So look out for it :) In the meantime, I'd love for you to check out the first episode of a new video series I am starting with my friend @TheKevinShen, it's called HOT SEAT.
Our goal with this series is to create videos that can help us heal and overcome our insecurities -- the ones that keep us from becoming the people we really want to be. Our best selves.
In our first episode, we brought together a group of Asian American men to share their stories about their range of experiences of dating as an Asian male.

Hope you enjoy it!!

Hello, I'm Alexa
Happppppy holidays everyone! For the last 3 years, my friend Brenna and I have created a super fun (and slightly embarrassing) holiday video. This year, I wanted to share it with all of you :)
I love this time of the year because it comes with an excitement for the start of a new year, with new goals to reach for and new ideas to explore. If you were looking for a UX job going into the holidays, get ready to start up again because companies often open up a bunch of new jobs at the beginning of their year to start fulfilling their team's hiring goals.
Enjoy the video!
