"We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Mei Jen a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Mei, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?"

"The first video work I saw of yours was ‘With Ha Bowls‘. I love the childlike playfulness of incorporating the toys and the use of the dolls in that video. Your ‘Honeydew‘ video has more direct references to your spirituality. Tell us more about what inspired the creative direction?"

"A dip into the realm of the avant-garde, this track from multi-hyphenate creative Buddha Mei is sung entirely in Cantonese, over a beat rife with influences from afro-latin music, dance music, and even musical theater. Although I can’t understand what Mei is saying, the strength of her delivery still conveys the emotion behind her words."

"The enchanting Buddha Mei led the evening with her unique blend of creativity and spirituality.

"Mei’s interpretation of Chant at the Moon Day offered guests an enlightened perspective on spirituality and the lunar holiday as a whole. While there may not have been actual howling, attendees nonetheless let it out spiritually at the new moon, making their manifestations heard."

Buddha, so excited to have you with us today. There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
