Vanessa and Summer Yang

Would a 14-year-old daughter join her mom for a podcast conversation? We are thrilled Summer Yang joined her mom, Vanessa Yang, for this episode of Let’s Have This Conversation. 

This season we are featuring mother and daughter relationships so inviting Vanessa and her daughter, Summer, is perfect. As a high school freshman, Summer is thoughtful and mature beyond her age. Summer is already a seasoned YouTuber with her own channel where she offers her fresh perspective and analysis of Chinese dramas. Transition describes Vanessa’s life. At 2-years-old, she is a Chinese Vietnamese refugee landing in Malaysia while her father secures her family’s passage to Germany. Eventually, her life journey leads her to the United States where she becomes an accomplished CPA and hybrid “tiger” mom. Recently, she has the courage to take a hiatus from her professional career to become a podcaster! Our professional and podcasting networks intersected and I knew I wanted to invite Vanessa to join our show.

Listen to Vanessa’s story of life changes and accomplishments. Enjoy Summer and Vanessa’s sincere and connected relationship as they chat with us.
