What is Girl Growing Brighter?
GGB is where I vent, reflect, hypothesize, and tell people what to do. People often write me to ask for my advice on life and love. My answer is always a version of the same: Get your shit together — here’s how you can start doing that. On the flip side, my essays are usually about how I am struggling to get my shit together. Words are easier than actions….. what can I say.
Some pieces that have gotten GGB attention:
Margaret Cho and my Mom, aka: the 3 best Koreans ever. (Freshly Pressed, WP).
Busy-bragging (not the most literary thing ever, but whatev). (NBC.com)
How best friends make you better at dating. (BlogHer)
I’m really not that narcissistic, but I talk about myself a lot to protect confidentiality with people I know.
I post 1x per week, on Mondays. Or, to be more honest… whenever I can pull my shit together. 🙂
(Yes, that picture is me above)……..Who am I?
I’m a freelance writer and a coach who helps people improve at writing, teaching, and dating. Basically, I kick people’s asses into being more true and loving to themselves.
I get internet-stalked a lot because of my line(s) of work….. so the closest you’ll get to a photo of me are these cute little drawings of me all over this site. They’re waaaay cuter than I really am in real life, so it all works out. 😉
Concretely: San Francisco citizen, California native, 2nd generation Korean-American.
Disclaimer: I loosely refer to folks to protect trust and identities. If I wrote something bad and you think it’s about you, it’s not; you’re obviously too self-aware for that.
If I wrote something good and you think it’s about you…. I’ll never tell.
Also, I can sleep for longer than you.
