Dora, you are from Dallas, Texas,

through your brand, Doris Spectacular.

So we share us your journey to becoming indoors spectacular. What happened

when you're a child and like what did you do to be the spectacular person and

sprinkling everybody with how spectacular they are.

Okay well I'll tell you this it's not easy growing up Asian especially in America

because there's such a cultural divide and my parents grew up in a very hard culture.

There was inequality, there were no child psychology videos, there was no

Wild Spring right for them and they were shaped by a lot of discipline. So they brought up my two brothers and myself. It was intense. It was intense. It was intense. And it was also heartbreaking because my father favored my two brothers in that I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken. It's very hard a girl looks to her her father. Our fault years are so important and I didn't

realize how heartbroken I was. Yeah, I think in different cultures as well.

I mean my mom is from Asia and coming over there are a lot of things that you don't talk about

and there's just also a lot of ways of doing things differently in other cultures than in the United States.

Did your parents meet here in the United States?

Yes, they did.

My mother fled China as a young girl and grew up in Taiwan,

and my father grew up in Taiwan and my father fled China and they met in Pittsburgh.
