Black culture has been a huge influence in my life.

I wanted to inspire people not to work under a bamboo ceiling. Whatever you are - yellow, black, white, brown - you don't have to allow your skin to define who you are or how you operate your business. There's not one face to anything.

There is a lot of food culture that goes on in the home and in the community in non-traditional ways. Food is a lot more than restaurants.

I like a walking culture; I need to be in a city where you can walk everywhere.

Soup dumplings, sitcoms, one-night stands--good ones leave you wanting more.
