Eva Chen on the immigrant experience and the importance of self-love

In this episode, Liz speaks with Eva Chen, the head of fashion partnerships at Instagram and former editor-in-chief of Lucky Magazine and editor at Teen Vogue, about her latest children’s book, I am Golden, which tells the story of a young Asian American girl, and carries a message of self-love and validation.

Eva explains why it was so important for her to write this particular children’s book now, how her mother and grandmother shaped her identity, and why she wants all mothers to know that it is never too late to pivot and evolve in your professional life and your personal life.
