👩🏻Menmin Made and me
Menmin Made is a brand launched by Paulina Hoong with the purpose of making art accessible to people from all cultures and brighten up any space. She is a Chinese American entrepreneur/artist and her parents immigrated to the U.S. in 1985 and started a Chinese restaurant in Minnesota. She named her brand after her Chinese name, “Menmin” as a way to connect with her roots. I found Menmin Made on Instagram. As a fellow Asian woman and a business owner, I would love to support her work. What I love about her products is the use of bright watercolors and the cute and playful illustrations of Asian food. In Japan, I feel that racism and xenophobia, especially toward China and the Chinese people, are getting even more threatening nowadays. However, as a Japanese person who experienced living in Europe, I have always felt the sense of unity with Chinese people. It was always them who helped me and made my life in Amsterdam easier.
🥬 I personally love this one because it reminds me of an anime I used to watch as a kid: Yasai no Yosei (Vegetable Fairies: N.Y. Salad)!
