Meet Mary!Born and raised in Vancouver to immigrant parents, I was told to stay quiet, even when we were laughing, and not ruffle any feathers. I wasn't allowed to have a voice and craved for someone to speak to.Today, I want to give women self-confidence with their voice because I felt that I didn't have one growing up.My little family now lives in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada and have been living the island lifestyle since 2001. There's nothing about "in my spare time" as I believe that all creative aspects of my personal life help me recharge to be motivated for my work life. Everything is intertwined; knitting, sewing, creating a great meal from scratch, are all ways that keep my creativity flowing and fuel my business work at the same time.I’m passionate and driven who loves to work with creativity, laughter, and with those who don't always take themselves(Source: organizedsound.ca)// Connect with Mary and Organized Sound!Web: http://www.organizedsound.ca/about-me/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marychan-organizedsound/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/organizedsoundproductions/Visible Voice Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/visiblevoicepodcast/// COBA COFFEE is a proud sponsor and partner of Dear Asian AmericansVisit www.COBA.coffee and use code "DAA" or "PODCAST" to receive 15% off of your order today!// Join the Dear Asian Americans Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dearasianamericans// Listen to Dear Asian Americans on all major platforms: Transistor.fm: http://www.dearasianamericans.com Apple: https://apple.dearasianamericans.com Spotify: https://spotify.dearasianamericans.com Stitcher: https://stitcher.dearasianamericans.com Google: https://google.dearasianamericans.com  Follow us on Instagram:  http://www.instagram.com/dearasianamericans  Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/dearasianamericans  Subscribe to our YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/dearasianamericans  Learn more about DAA Producer and Host Jerry Won:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrywon/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerryjwon/// Support the show by becoming a patron on Patreon at http:www.patreon.com/dearasianamericans// Join the Asian Podcast Network:Web: https://asianpodcastnetwork.com/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/asianpodcastnetwork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asianpodcastnetwork/Dear Asian Americans is produced by Just Like Media:Web: http://www.justlikemedia.comInstagram.com: http://www.instagram.com/justlikemedia
