HAPPY NEW YEAR!- #StartWithASmile this holiday! -- Upcoming Events -
When it comes to community engagement, business coach Joon Han is probably the most influential speaker I have ever met. He will be in town from San Diego, and is putting on a masterclass for us, 12/9, 2-4pm, location is in Roslindale and we will send you the address with a confirmation of your spot. Space is limited with priority to ACE NG members (cost is free with membership: http://acenextgen.org/join/). Slide into my DM's if you would like to reserve a spot 🤣
Here are details on the workshop and more info about Joon Han:
Set up Your Awesome 2019!
Join us as we uncover strategies into how to set up significant growth for your businesses in 2019.
Whether it be finally breaking the $1M mark or striving for the Inc 5000 - come discover proven tools to dramatically accelerate your success this next year and beyond.
This is a phenomenal time to be an Asian-American entrepreneur; even more so if we can learn to unlock our cultural advantages. So come and be part of this fun and lively gathering as we all learn to grow in the smartest ways possible.
Other topics that might be covered include:
- Thought leadership
- Work-life balance
- New media (podcasting, etc)
Leading strategist Joon S. Han is the author and TEDx speaker of “Get Ahead by Giving Back” and he gets to interact with thousands of entrepreneurs a year through workshops, conferences, podcasts and mentoring relationships; helping smart business owners grow from being busy to very effective. His passion is to help at least ten thousand entrepreneurs a year to change the world with their accelerated success.
Since retiring from active client work years ago, Joon mentors as many social entrepreneurs as he can fit into his schedule these days. And although he leads five companies and three nonprofit organizations; he gladly spends most of his time as the lead parent of his family (ie. shuttling the kids to and fro in the minivan, co-president of the PTA, field trips and grocery shopping - woohoo!).
Joon’s newest company is AwesomeGuests.com and he enjoys the magicianship of Penn and Teller™ and his pet peeves are when people say, “could care less” instead of “couldn’t” and when someone speaks on leadership when they’ve never led anything in their life.
Feel free to connect with Joon on LinkedIn and ask him any questions in advance of this eye-opening and practical gathering.

Claribel Wu, currently studying English at Brown University, is interested in exploring storytelling as a place where activism, artistic creation, and healing can intersect. She created a short film featuring AAPI students on how they relate to their mental health through identity, culture, and creative outlets. From close personal and familial encounters with mental illness, she’s dedicated to prioritizing mental health and destigmatizing mental illness, especially for the communities of color.
Last summer, as an intern for the Center for Mindful Learning, she deepened her understanding of how mind, body, and spirit are interconnected. As a newcomer to Boston this summer, Claribel is hoping to expand her understanding of holistic health needs by working with AWFH as a summer intern and participant in the program, Achieving Whole Health.
On campus, she’s worked as publicity chair for Asian American Political Alliance, the literary editor for VISIONS Magazine (AAPI literature and arts publication), a mentor with Asian American Mentoring Program, and does podcasting, videography, illustration, and journalistic work with a variety of student publications.

- To bring awareness to the Pan-Asian and larger communities regarding the importance of practicing self care
Toward the same, we are looking for volunteers to answer simple questions on their ideas of self care. We are also looking for expert opinions on

Breast Cancer Study for Young Women
Exploring Medical Preferences of Women with Estrogen Receptor (EMPOWER) is a study that is being conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts – Boston (UMB) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). We are interested in speaking to young women who have been diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer to gain a better understanding of women’s thoughts about taking oral hormonal treatment, such as tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor, and their current experience with such treatments. We will screen interested women to check whether they are eligible to participate in an English or Spanish interview about their experiences with oral hormonal treatment.
Interested women should:
- Have been younger than 45 years of age when diagnosed with breast cancer
- Identify as Black, Latina, Hispanic OR are experiencing financial stress
- Have a history of Stage 1, 2, or 3 hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer
- Have completed chemotherapy and/or radiation, between 6 months to 2 years ago
- Have no evidence of breast cancer recurrence
This will be a one-time phone interview; all information will be strictly confidential, and a $40 gift card will be sent to participants after the interview as a thank you.
Interested in participating or learning more about EMPOWER?
- Call 617-582-7942 or 617-287-7174
- Email empower@partners.org or empower@umb.edu
- Visit https://www.umb.edu/gokids/empower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recruitment for the third cohort of Pathways to Wellness, a Dana-Farber study about wellness after breast cancer, will begin this summer. The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of California Los Angeles and Johns Hopkins University, compares how mindfulness meditation or survivorship education meet the common needs of young survivors. Eligible participants are women who were diagnosed with early-stage (0-III) breast cancer at or before age 50, and are within 5 years of diagnosis.
If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the study team: 617-582-9706 or PathwaysToWellness@partners.org.

Early warning tool for breast cancer prediction in southeast Asian women
A researcher at The University of Nottingham Malaysia is collaborating with scientists at Cancer Research Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom to develop a new early warning tool that could help to predict which women in South East Asia are most at risk of developing breast cancer.
The work of Dr. Weang Kee Ho in the University's Department of Applied Mathematics could help to find out whether it is possible to target expensive mammographic screening at women who are most likely to be affected, enabling doctors to detect the disease in its early stages when it is most treatable.

From the Archives
by Jerry Zheng, Tisch Summer Fellow
What did Chinese restaurants serve in the past? How did Chinese restaurants attract customers before the age of Internet? CHSNE’s collection of Chinese restaurant matchbooks and menus can be used to answer these questions and more.
Scrolling through the collection brings one’s mind back to a very different time. One immediately notices the many non-Chinese dishes. Today a Chinese restaurant serving “french fries”, “bread roll”, or “southern-style fried chicken” would probably raise a foodie’s eyebrows. But this was a common practice in the past for Chinese restaurants to cater to non-Chinese palates. One might also be surprised to see the prevalence of Polynesian food in Chinese restaurant. It’s not uncommon to see restaurants with a Chinese name serving “Chinese-Polynesian dishes” or “exotic” Tiki drinks. This reflects the post-war American society’s fascination with Polynesian food, a trend harnessed by many Chinese restaurant owners. It’s also interesting to study how restaurants employed various oriental and Chinese motifs to decorate their menus and matchbooks in a way that might be branded as “stereotypical” by a modern observer.
The collection demonstrates American society’s perception of Chinese cuisine and its evolution over the past decades. It also documents the personal history of many enterprising Chinese Americans rising to the challenges of the era.
Clockwise from top left: Tiki drink menu from Trader Vic's, circa 1970s; menu from Cathay House, noting the 10 cent charge for bread and butter, circa 1960s; menu cover from Cathay House, circa 1960s; part of CHSNE's matchbook collection.
