Tsai Thao: The First-Ever Hmong Model Featured in Times Square & NY Fashion Week

Thank you for stopping by to listen today! We are thrilled to be doing a third season of this show. We have been fortunate enough to step things up on the production side and we now film and record at an actual studio, called Muze, which is in St. Paul, Minnesota.The studio is run by two Hmong women, Milly and Elmo, and they have been a major help in making this season look better than ever.Speaking of looking better, we put a lot of work into the video content for this season, so please, if you are more of a visual person, hop on over to our YouTube channel to check that out.-As for today’s episode, we have Tsai Thao, who became the first Hmong model to be featured on a billboard in Times Square in New York City. Not only that, but she has walked in New York Fashion Week and many other shows across the country.She is with Yia today to talk about what it took to become a successful, nationally recognized model, and it might not be what you think.-If you like the show, leave us a 5-star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and be sure to subscribe.
