We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate APA Heritage  Month & Mental Health Awareness Month than to kick off our ‘I Feel Good’ campaign in partnership with Love, Bonito!

The ‘I Feel Good’ campaign was built to promote and inspire pride in our identity as Asians and confidence in ourselves to chase our wildest dreams. When we internalize self-confidence and believe in our ability to reach our full potential, we are able to break free of societal constraints and reach new heights as individuals and as a community. This May, we will be redefining what is possible for anyone who’s ever been told they can’t, so that we can feel empowered to look and feel our best.

To kick things off, we are bringing 3 amazing AAPI guests together for our inaugural event in LA: Kelly Uchima, Eshani Patel, and Sam M. will share their own self-confidence journeys with us. 🌴☀️

Join us next Thursday, May 9th, for a night full of conversation, FREE food, drinks, and EXCLUSIVE discounts on Love Bonito's newest Signature and Staples lines, plus early access to Anise's newest group coaching series on self-confidence!
