From Being a Working Professional to Being a Work-From-Home Mom w/ Kaiyan Wong (@heymommio) of USMOMMIOS PODCAST / #59

A work-from-home mom that embarked on a content-creating journey as a result of the pandemic. She creates content on Youtube about raising her mixed child in America, Cantonese teaching content (as she is teaching her son Cantonese, her native language), and a podcast series all about conversations with moms (mostly Cantonese background) around the world about their parenting stories. Kaiyan Wong is our guest for this week's episode.

Kaiyan Wong is a Diaspora Asian that immigrated to the west during her late teens in a rather unconventional way. She finished her post-secondary education in America before embarking on a successful career in the corporate/sales industries before getting married and having a son with her husband that turned her into a full-time mom.

In our conversation, we explored her immigration story, her thoughts on being a Diaspora Asian in her teenhood (cultural shock, discovery, etc), raising a mixed child, being a mom, the changing of her identity after having her child, parenting tips and advice, the importance of her native language and culture, content creating and more.

Check out Kaiyan and her content!
