HELLO FROM BLOOM IN CRISIS!
Globally connected, locally relevant, personally touched – Bloom in Crisis is a place to learn, share, and grow. It is where vulnerability is normalized, underrepresented voices are amplified, diversity is celebrated, honest guidance and genuine support are given. We believe that no one should have to go through their crisis times alone nor navigate through life without accessible guidance.
Having struggled and gone through many crises by herself, Zip Nguyen started blogging when the pandemic hit in March 2020 and later on released Bloom in Crisis podcast in June 2021, with a mission to create a global community where everyone from different cultures, generations, and backgrounds overcome tough times together, learn and uplift each other through the power of authentic storytelling, cross-learning, and sharing pragmatic advice. After receiving so much love and support from her audiences, Zip launched bloomincrisis.com, a weblog, in April 2022 to provide another outlet for stories to be told and to further expand the community. Together, we inspire each other to #bloomincrisis.
While the main language of both the weblog and the podcast is English, Zip also wants to use her platforms to bring Vietnamese voices and conversations to the world while connecting with the Vietnamese community, so there are also content written and episodes spoken in Vietnamese, Zip's native language.
"...because everyone is a bloomer and we bloom in crisis together."
