Hi I’m Soudavone, I’m a certified Yoga Teacher, a Reiki Master from Thailand, a performing artist, actor, model, athlete, martial arts baddie, entrepreneur, speaks 5 language, and first gen and eldest immigrant daughter, a Lao refugee, and first in my ancestry to be raised in the United States. It sounds like I’m writing a bio for a program lol. But I wanted to write that just to see how I feel after writing, because imposter symptoms and self doubt is my biggest epidemic. lol.
Someone once said to me “you always talk about your successes, “ like it was an insult. Yes, I do, because look at me lol. I came from poverty, yet here I am a shiny super star lol. IYKYK. Hate me because I know and also don’t know what I bring to the table at the same time.
And also- do you know how often secrets to success are gate kept from marginalized communities making us feel like basic s**t is impossible? When we speak up and share our stories, our hows, our whys, our struggles, when we speak up about our ups and downs in finances etc openly, we actually model to others how to overcome and achieve their dreams. We help each other to overcome shame the system has hammered into us so that we can reclaim the power the “they’ve” taken from us! When we share openly- we help create deeper communities.
So catch me owning my s**t, besties!
