Celebrating International Women's Day with Sue

Anything is possible…

Sue Tsai & Nico, NICO.NICO Clothing

petitePARADE honors two forces who prove that women can do it all. Influenced by women and becoming mothers, these two very-important-females have cultivated famed brands for women and children alike. Take note, this is what power looks like kids…

pP: Who was your hero as a young girl?

ST: As a young girl, my hero was Wonder Woman. I loved how confident she was in her outfit and that plane…Having had just immigrated from Taiwan I had never seen a woman on television with just a leotard fighting crimes. I loved it. 

pP: Describe one pivotal turning point in your life that has helped you grow personally and/or professionally? 

ST: Giving birth to my eldest son, Nico, was definitely a pivotal point in my younger years because he widened my perspective on life. Before I was more focused on myself, my career, going out etc... His birth made me realize how quickly time flies and to live in the moment, enjoy time with family and create memories. 

pP: How do you perceive success?

ST: I think it’s not what you have but what you are most content and happy with. Pure Happiness; friends, family or career.

pP: What are some of your favorite female founded brands?

ST: Hansel From Basel, Black Crane, Beatrice Valenzuela, Kathleen Whitiker, Grace Lee, Kalon Studios  (my incredibly talented friends)

pP: What have you been taught by fellow females that you can pass along?

ST: Anything is possible, if you dream it you can achieve it! Surround yourself with positive, encouraging friends, and create a strong support system.
