Yeshim, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other.

I am proud of building my business and keeping it sacred because my work is centuries old

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell my younger self that it is ok, i die not deserve how adults treated me in foster care and that I can do and be anything I want and that I am loved and cared for.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope that people knew I loved them and cared about them. That I did my best to make people feel this way and did not second guess my feelings ever.
