Previously, we had a chance to talk to Jenny Ton – one of the Co-Founders of ACMIST.com – and hear how her life journey lead her to becoming one of the Boss Ladies for ACMIST. But how do you define a “Boss Lady?” After Jenny enlightened us, we believe that every woman can ultimately be a Boss Lady. It’s not about position or titles you hold, but rather it’s the mindset that women live by.
Audrey Magazine: There’s the concept of Boss Lady that we see on your website and social media; can you briefly tell us about it?
Jenny Ton: ACMIST celebrates the diverse beauty and power of womanhood, sisterhood, community and a woman’s authentic self – which we define as Boss Lady.
Boss Lady is also a metaphor for your inner best self that manifests into your outer best self. Therefore, our goal is to validate your highest Boss self while providing you with the acme of all wardrobes, a Boss Lady’s wardrobe.
ACMIST Boss Lady Ethos:
-A Boss Lady believes one woman’s success is every women’s success.
-A Boss Lady carries herself like a boss of life –owning her individuality genuinely and unapologetically.
-A Boss Lady uplifts and inspires others with her sharp mind, big heart and undeniable personal style.
AM: In what ways are you a Boss Lady?
JT: I’m a Boss Lady because I’m a risk taker, which has led me on a rewarding path of pursuing my passions for a greater good. It’s certainly not easy. But with the greatest challenges, comes the greatest rewards.
AM: On top of managing ACMIST, I know you ladies are involved in different organizations. Can you tell us about the community work you do?
JT: We love the following organizations, which we call our crush orgs. We’re dedicated to partnerships with:
Kearny Street Workshop (kearnystreet.org)
JT: The oldest Asian Pacific American multidisciplinary arts organization in the country. We were partners for their annual Celebrate Your Body this past January. Celebrate Your Body is an alternative, body-positive fashion and art showcase highlighting Asian Pacific American fashion designers and stylists who specialize in body types and communities too often left out in the mainstream fashion industry. CYB addresses this underrepresentation by boldly redefining beauty. One size does not fit all. As a KSW Board member, we’re excited to continue building with them.
JT: Sol Sisters (solsisters.org) combines the creative arts with mental health to celebrate the diverse beauty of women from the inside, out. I’m a Board member and co-directed our most recent Sol Sisters Revival event. Our Sol Sisters Revivals are focused on empowering and supporting disadvantaged women and girls through self-esteem, team building workshops and a full makeover.
Sol Sisters presents their 1st Revival- “Bringing Back Beauty Within” from TR Proz Productions on Vimeo.
We’re working with Sol Sisters’ on the next Revival, focusing on uplifting our high school teen moms at Hilltop School in San Francisco. Hilltop School’s unique Pregnant Minors Program specializes in comprehensive support for teen moms. Please read more about this Revival and how you can help at: https://life.indiegogo.com/
JT: Compassion is Fashion (compassionisfashion.org) empowers and inspires foster youth and disadvantaged communities through art, fashion, education and self-esteem programs. Compassion is Fashion is less than a year old. As a proud Board member, I’m confident Compassion is Fashion will continue to enrich this world for the better.
AM: What can we expect from ACMIST in the coming year?
JT: Some real #Boss ish! Sign up for our newsletter at ACMIST.com and follow us on our social media for inspiring Boss Lady action.
