Rise In L-O-V-E Spotlight Series Part 2

Interview with Avalynn Chiang, Product Manager in the Tech Industry.

 

The “Rise In Love” collection is a wearable statement for the modern woman to celebrate other women, to embody the equality they wish to see in the world, to stand up for one another by first standing up for themselves, by being the first to value their worth. Each necklace in this collection spells out “L-O-V-E” in combination of rose gold or white gold with diamonds as an invitation for one to wear her love for herself loud, proud and chic. It’s a brilliant reminder for her to rise in her power.

In Part 2 of this three-part series, we speak with Avalynn Chiang (@avchiang on Instagram), who works as a product manager in the tech industry.
“One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the power of being fearless and open — to not be afraid to ask questions, to speak up from my perspective. Regardless of gender, I believe that everyone has something to bring to the table."
1. Can you introduce yourself?
Hi! I’m Avalynn, also known as @avchiang on Instagram. I work in tech as a product manager and enjoy fitness as a lifestyle. My hobbies include photography and cycling, which are coincidentally male-dominated interests. I share snippets of my life and hobbies on Instagram/YouTube and hope fellow females are inspired to give them a shot too!

 2. What does it mean to love and value yourself? In other words, how do you “Rise In Love” with yourself?
I believe in showing kindness to myself. I listen to my body, set healthy boundaries and manifest positive thoughts.

3. Do you have a daily or go-to self-care ritual/practice to share? Perhaps something you do that helps you to stand in your power?

My morning routine is to get up 30 minutes before my work begins, so that I can spend some time getting into the right frame of mind for the day. I take this time for skincare and simple stretches. Sometimes, I go for a short walk or a jog — this makes me feel extra empowered and ready to take on the day.

4. In your own way, how do you try to make a difference — at work or in your personal life — in advocating gender equity for women?

I work in the tech industry, which is still quite male dominated. Without prior professional training, I'm often faced with challenges especially when I first joined. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the power of being fearless and open — to not be afraid to ask questions, to speak up from my perspective. Regardless of gender, I believe that everyone has something to bring to the table.

5. How will you wear your “Rise In Love” necklace / what do you see yourself wearing it with?

I love the way the strength and character of a V-neck button-down shirt or structured blazer would contrast the daintiness of my “Rise In Love” necklace. That’s how I’d wear it.

6. What is your current power mantra?

"Dreams don’t work unless you do.”
