Episode 19 - Vivian Mabuni

Speak Life with Taylor Nichols

Today’s conversation is with my dear friend Vivian Mabuni. She is a national speaker and author of "Warrior In Pink" and "Open Hands, Willing Heart." She recently launched a new podcast called "Someday Is Here, dedicated to sharing stories of leadership, culture and heritage within the lives of Asian American women today. Vivian and I connected over a short but sweet conversation that we shared about the importance of interior design and the creative power of working in a space that is quiet, inviting and harmonious. Our conversation started there, but ended with so much more about life, love and learning to understand the perspectives and values of others.

Vivian taught me so much during our conversation, leaving me empowered to keep learning more about what role I play in the conversation around culture and inclusion today. She shares what it looks like to live as a minority in western culture, how the idea of “collective over individual” is part of her Asian DNA and even breaks down the elements of her birth name and what role they play in her life today.

Vivian does an amazing job of helping us understand how we can come together and honor the unique and beautiful differences that are apart of all of our cultures of origin while encouraging us to lean in and learn from people who see the world through a different set of values or beliefs.

My hope is that you will also walk away from our conversation feeling inspired and encouraged to engage more conversations like this one in your own life!
