Summary

Ming Zhao is EVERYTHING we want to be and see represented byr women in business. A Chinese immigrant, Ming moved to Florida aged 12 speaking no English only to start school with a bad haircut, the wrong clothes and placed in ESL classes. With dedication and determination Ming quickly learned English and flourished in school. After graduating with her MBA from Harvard Business School, Ming went into the highly prestigious financial industry working in private equity. The well known burn out industry had Ming aging fast and no amount of money spent on creams and lotions and potions could fix her skin issues.
