Born in San Francisco, California, Josie grew up in an environment that straddled both cultures and more so in the underground world of Chinatown. Being a child of an immigrant family, she had to learn how to make sense of the "Chinese playground" and create opportunities on her own. It wasn't until the death of her father that Josie turned over a new leaf and began to focus more on her professional journey of entrepreneurship and founded her own brand of lash and spa treatments. Her legacy now is to help other young women find their own financial stability through entrepreneurship.
