How you get to breaking out of your comfort zone is by leaning into the discomfort because something is uncomfortable for you, because there’s a story behind it. And for me, it’s that immigrant story. It’s better not to be seen. Don’t cause any waves. You don’t want anybody to hear you because that might bring attention to the fact that you’re not an American. And so I never spoke out.
I have this story running saying I shouldn’t be public, I shouldn’t be speaking, but I am. And the reason I’m doing it is that I have a mission. I want to give out my children’s book throughout the world because it is a book on transformation.
