What's This All About?
Discovery. Growth.
First and Foremost: I am not a writer
I want you to know that I am not a writer, I guess now that I’m writing you would say that I am. But words are not my forte, I have lots of thoughts and feelings but I always feel like my words are never adequate enough or my thoughts are too scattered to structure. That being said, I will try my best.
What I am though, is many things… Asian, American, Pediatric Dietitian, Audiobook Narrator, Educator, Dancer, Daughter, Sister, Cousin, Aunt, Niece, Partner, Friend.
1. Why this, why now
I’ve been thinking on this for a few months now, and seeing my fellow narrators gather up their courage to take this plunge, I decided I could also. I want to see where this takes me, maybe it won’t get far but maybe it’ll gain some traction. Only time will tell.
2. Why do you want to stay
You’re here for the tea. To see my struggles, but to also see my strength, perseverance, and tenacity. This also isn’t just about me, I mentioned I’m an educator. I enjoy teaching (I teach med students, residents, and dietetic interns), more specifically, I enjoy mentoring (which I don’t really get to do). The problem is, I’m still new to this creative industry, but I have a strong skillset in learning and problem solving, which will pave my way.
So, you will want to stay for my growth, but also for your own growth. I hope that you will be empowered through my words and journey.
3. What will I be posting
Narration and creative work: this will be a huge bulk of posts as this is where finding my voice started
Creative business and mindset: the struggles of creating your own small business but also provide you with words of encouragement: sometimes we need someone to tell us to go for it, for us to stop holding ourselves back
Personal growth: I’m not sure where this will take me yet, but we will discover it together
Daily life: things that make me happy, food, travel, randomness
5. Lastly, why “The Velvet Current”
This is still a working name but it stems from who I am at my core. Soft Power. Steady Momentum. Quiet strength, gentle yet ongoing progress.
I hope you find your time with me enjoyable. Feel free to leave me some comments!
I didn't know you were a dietician. I love that I got to learn something new about you 🥰
The best part of having gotten to talk with you on the pod, chat with you everyday, AND meet you IRL is that I can completely hear your voice in your writing! So excited to follow and support :)
