still coming down from the high that was Summer Together—our 3-day takeover of SGV, supporting Asian-owned small businesses and recreating nostalgic third spaces for our community 💛 Hosting over 140 people across three intimate events, generating hundreds in revenue for local businesses, and collaborating with friends old and new—Yellow Mascot, LLC (the design team behind Chunky Things), Sabobatage, Bearology USA, Blossom Market Hall, and more, we had such a great time connecting with one another and building community. None of this could have been possible without the incredible support of Cindy L. and the entire Yuzu team—so here's to more many fun events! 💛

🍋 Yuzu is launching its first College Ambassador Program! 🙏 Please help us spread the word to Asian college students in: LA, SF, BOSTON, DALLAS, our pilot cities! ✨ We are looking for 5 ambassadors from LA, SF, Boston, and Dallas to be our community leaders, connectors, and innovators! More cities to come soon :) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eX94juu7 Thanks to Marielle Sales & Mal from Sari Sari Studios ❤️

About a year ago, I left my job in Finance to pursue a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to inspire Asian pride and facilitate the process of connecting through culture. Fast forward to less than five months after launching Yuzu on the App/Play Store, and Yuzu has garnered over 130,000 downloads. We have an incredible community of active members who find friendship, romance, and a sense of belonging on Yuzu, a social playground for the Asian community . As if this journey weren't exciting enough already, I am immensely proud to unite with the vibrant powerhouse that is North Star Boys – a leading Asian-American boy band that has taken the K-pop scene by storm. Their energetic and unifying presence across platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram echoes Yuzu's mission perfectly: to inspire friendships, spark romance, and champion Asian pride and culture. Our collaboration with North Star Boys implies more than just a partnership; it hints at a fellowship for celebrating Asian creativity and culture. With exciting initiatives underway, including in-app surprise appearances, social media content partnerships, exclusive opportunities for Yuzu members, and a highlight in NSB's new single and music video - "Bug," we aim to bring more vivacity to our vision. Every day, I am grateful to belong to this extraordinary community, and I'm eager to share more about what's on Yuzu's horizon. You can follow Yuzu on Instagram and TikTok @JoinYuzu for engaging updates. 🍋 Here's to celebrating Asian friendships together! #YuzuXNorthStarBoys #AsianPride #Yuzu #NorthStarBoys #Kpop #AANHPI #Friendships #Romance #Community #AsianCommunity https://lnkd.in/eWMjWGr7

Yuzu x Sundae School collaboration is a testament to how unique perspectives can reshape societal norms through creativity. It's about time we celebrate the amalgamation of cultures and experiences, unique to first, second, or third-generation immigrants in our vibrant community! "Inspirasian" spotlights four remarkable Asian creatives - Ameya Okamoto, James Bee, Juno Shen, and Snix, celebrating the passion, innovation, and talent they bring to creatively changing narratives while redefining the Asian identity. Their stories will inspire a new generation of creatives to not just follow but also reshape creative trends. Directed by Hee Eun Chung Cinematography by Max Lee and Rex Sang Edited by Max Lee.

In honor of AAPI Month, Yuzu is joining forces with Sundae School to curate a short-form content series called "Inspirasian," along with exclusive Yuzu x Sundae School Merch T-shirt. The distinctive artistry and cultural contributions brought forward by Asian American creatives undeniably play a crucial role in reshaping societal norms and expectations. As first, second, or even third-generation immigrants, these creatives possess a unique perspective and an innate ability to blend multiple cultures, creating a rich tapestry of experiences. I am so excited for Yuzu to be part of an exciting new chapter in the saga of Asian diaspora, empowering connections, celebrating histories, and fostering a sense of cultural pride within the Asian community. In this series, Yuzu and Sundae School highlight 4 Asian creatives (Ameya Okamoto, James Bee, Juno Shen, Snix) to share their stories and journeys on reaching new creative heights.
