Show Notes

Meet Anne Gu!

We celebrate Anne and her friends' initiative in starting Subtle Asian Traits and building a global movement that has changed the lives of millions and have inspired countless Asian communities globally.

We support her and fellow community builders to create spaces for likeminded people to connect, laugh, and create together.

We are inspired by the positive impact that can be initiated by a few people who decided to create something to bond over.
