"I am an immigrant. In 1999, at just 21-years old, I arrived in the United States with nothing but a backpack on my shoulders, a small dictionary, and a heart full of determination. I didn’t speak English. There were no cell phones, no internet access to guide me—just a world of uncertainty and a belief that I could build something greater for myself. The road was full of challenges, struggles, and moments of fear, but I refused to let circumstances define me.
I was raised in deep poverty under a communist regime, where resilience meant surviving. Later, I endured the pain of domestic violence, fighting battles no woman should have to face. But again I refused to be a victim. I pushed forward, determined to not only survive but to create something meaningful.
Then, against all odds, I found love again. Brian and I are proof that life offers second chances—not just for love, but for healing, hope, and building something greater than ourselves. Together, as partners in life and in purpose, we created Intentional—a brand that reflects our journey, our values, and our unwavering belief that the future is shaped by the choices we make today." - Zee
