What is the one value that you never compromise as a working woman and how does it influence your career?
It may sound as if I heavily emphasize my ego, but always choose yourself and your feelings. Everyone usually thinks that emotions are something that is impulsive Despite knowing the toll it takes on my
I think this value has a crucial influence on my career as a working woman in Media and Communications Working on shows is a way to lift emotional “blocks” off my shoulders. All the programs and content I worked on reflected my thoughts and emotions at that moment in time. The way I approach a topic also stems from my personal knowledge and my life experience.
The same thing applies to life outside of being a working woman as well. There will always be arguments and debates between you and your colleagues, your loved ones, your enemies, and those who don’t know you well. When argument bursts out, I’ll think about the probable consequences. Will I lose my job or hurt someone’s feeling
Ultimately, I have only one value: to respect my own feelings.
“Everyone says I am a feminist figure I gave a TED Talk about this issue. However, I don’t want to be involved in activism because it causes me to feel inferior. If I am a woman, I will just simply be a woman.”

I was a little disoriented and confused
“I am confident that in some corner, at some point, there will always be a person from whom we can learn something.”
Has there been a time when you cowered behind your own career as a working woman?
I am convinced that even in the most glorious career, there will be at least one or two years when nothing goes smoothly. I found myself in that situation when I was 25. Back then, my program was shut down for three months due to a minor excuse. That was the only time I fell into depression, not wanting to do anything. It felt like all my efforts resulted in nothing. Everything betrayed me. I locked myself inside for a couple of weeks.
Then, I realized that there will always be other choices waiting for me; if life doesn’t offer plan B, there will still be plan C, D, etc. Life comes around to
Do you have a mentor for your career? What are the perks of having this relationship?
Of course, I do. If I didn’t have a mentor to guide me through stages of my career, I wouldn’t have become who I am today. I am very fortunate because all my mentors are female. They are the people who see potential before
Mentors are people with great personalities

“My most prideful thing hasn’t come yet.”
What is your advice for young people aspiring to work in Media & Communications?
I only have this very general advice since I believe that mankind is full of variability. You should learn more, read more, meet more interesting people; put yourself out there and confront your fears that’s it.
What is one thing that has changed since you became a mother? What is your secret to regenerating energy to accommodate your busy working life?
The downside for working women who are mothers is the
“I oftentimes joke that men have a box in their brain called the “doing nothing” box. Contrarily, women’s brains do not contain this box because we are always do something.”
I set up a rule for myself called the “pulling” rule. This helps me understand that I and my child are distinct individuals. Vietnamese moms are used to thinking that they are one entity with their children. In fact, children aged six and above do not really need their parent. They are occupied with the quest of understanding themselves. By that time, we parents only have to observe and support our children if need be. As a result, we can allocate our time logically and set up a timetable that includes working time, time for our children, and time for ourselves.
Another tip is to go on a short solo trip. I make sure my children are well taken care of. Going on a trip will

Are there any differences in the rearing of your daughter and son?
From the outside, I treat them both equally. However, I recently pick up a tip from Biti’s campaign which encourages young girls to speak positively about themselves. So, I often ask my daughter, “Who is pretty? Who is smart?” And she will reply, “I am pretty, I am smart!”
I do think that although social structure and culture cannot be redefined all at once, we can change ourselves. Therefore, I hope children and even more
