Where Creativity Meets Cultural Discovery

Our Story

Hi! I'm Mai (pronounced "my"). Growing up, I often felt disconnected from my Asian identity. Now, as a mother, I want a different experience for my daughters—one where they feel proud of their Vietnamese and Chinese heritages and curious about the diverse cultures around them. But after years of distancing myself from my roots, I've often felt unsure about how to guide them.

Inspired by my daughters, I created Bo & Mei to make cultural learning accessible and joyful for everyone. Our mission is to nurture children’s pride in their own cultural heritage while fostering curiosity and appreciation for diverse traditions worldwide.

We support parents who want to bring enriching cultural experiences to their families, whether connecting with their roots or exploring new cultures. Through thoughtfully designed creative activities, Bo & Mei is dedicated to creating a world where every child feels a sense of pride and belonging in their unique cultural identities.

Ultimately, we hope that the strong sense of cultural identity, empathy, and creative confidence children gain today will empower them to embrace diversity, foster global understanding, and build a more inclusive world tomorrow.
