CTM Weekly // 📅 "Google Calendar, My Part-Time Lover" 🐀 Happy Lunar New Year!

Theme of the week: Productivity

Gooogle Calendar aka My Part Time Lover

"I’m one of those cliches who embody the motto “I can sleep when I’m dead.

To throw some numbers at you, I would say I typically work 100+ hours a week. Now, these 100 hours aren’t just my full-time job- it includes a lot of my side gigs and hustles.

To help visualize this better, here is my love, Google Calendar.”

"That's how much of an impact [Asian Americans] make in the shopping world and they realize not only are we buying more online, we are the ones who are influencing online [...] The fact that we're showing that we care, they have to care about us so remember the next time you [...] dress how you want to dress and that company will be like "Oh Asians like us, we need to start marketing towards them... we need to start making things for them"

- Donald Chang on how "our shit's fashionable, we just haven't been"

Listen. Learn. Inspire.

We created Crushing The Myth to share Asian American stories and perspectives with a global audience, as well as, connect Asian Americans and allies to each other. Because Asian America today is more than just the “Model Minority” label.
