    Jolene's career thrived on fun, team building, and motivational speaking. She earned a reputation for transforming lackluster events into captivating experiences. Now, her focus has shifted to addressing pressing social issues. As a champion for Asian American voices, Jolene leverages her platform and gamifies content to foster understanding and connection in the pursuit of justice.

    With decades of experience, she has spoken for companies like HP, Starbucks, and Microsoft, advocating for stronger teams and promoting cultural competence to attract and retain Asian American clients and employees.

    Her influential appearances on shows like Oprah, GMA, and Today have inspired citizens to take action and change legislation. If she can mobilize public engagement across all 50 states, imagine the potential impact she could have on your team with your initiatives.

    In the last couple of years, Jolene has conducted insightful interviews with Asian Americans and delivered over 225 presentations aimed at educating mainstream culture on the financial and social benefits of embracing Asian inclusivity.
