I was raised in a heritage family in Hong Kong, where legacy wasn’t just something to protect, it was something to carry forward. My grandmother passed down our thousand-year story through lived experience and quiet strength. I’ve long searched for ways to tell those stories through a woman’s lens, and I’ve been fortunate that platforms like South China Morning Post and Radio Television Hong Kong have helped document our lineage as Weitou women.

After building startups, navigating the corporate world, and living between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and London, I started writing to make sense of the in-between: East and West. Tradition and ambition. Power and softness. Love and loss.

This Substack is a personal archive. It’s part cultural commentary, part founder log, part love letter to the women who shaped me. If you’re someone who thinks deeply about identity, ambition, and the stories we inherit (and rewrite), this space is for you.
