Season 9 EP. 7: Karen Wang Diggs- Entrepreneur and Author

Karen describes herself as a ‘history hound.’ History has fascinated her since she was a child, and she has always been obsessed with uncovering the truth hidden between the pages of history books. Behind every date and every significant event in history, there is a catalog of untold stories, and she’s always been passionate about digging them up and understanding the people behind the events. Themes of social justice, gender equality, and race equality infuse every aspect of her work. As a woman, Karen is passionate about discovering and sharing the injustices faced by women throughout history. She wants to empower women and girls to change the future and strive for absolute parity between the sexes. Her work is dedicated to sharing lesser-told stories to show the world that strong women have always been, and always will be, crucial to the future of the world. Karen was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Hawaii. She was raised by a single mother whose strength and resilience fed into her passion for uncovering the stories of strong women throughout history. Karen loves reading and enjoys indulging in her book addiction. In addition to writing or having her nose in a book, Karen is also a professional chef and nutritionist and is continuing her education in Anthropology.
