An Interview with Sue Tran
Q: Sue, you often speak so passionately about women empowerment and diversity. Can you tell us where this passion comes from?
Sue Tran:
Thank you! Yes, this is something very close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve realized that every woman—no matter her age, background, or where she starts from—has the incredible power to create change. We all have the potential to shape lives, not just our own, but the lives of others around us. And I truly believe it’s time we fully embrace that power.
Q: What does empowerment mean to you personally?
Sue Tran:
For me, empowerment is about encouraging women to chase their dreams boldly and unapologetically. It’s not about where you began; it’s about the passion and fire inside you to go after what you truly want. I believe that when women support each other, we’re not only lifting ourselves—we’re creating a ripple effect that can transform entire communities.
Q: You talk about the importance of speaking up. Why is that so critical in your message?
Sue Tran:
Speaking up is one of the most important parts of the journey. It’s about standing strong not only for ourselves but for others who may not have the chance to use their voice. Advocacy happens when we share our stories—when we validate our experiences and inspire others to do the same. That’s how we create real change.
Q: You also host a talk show, “Women Empowerment.” How did that come about, and what makes it special?
Sue Tran:
Yes! Hosting “Women Empowerment” has been such a rewarding experience. The show features incredible women who have dedicated their lives to championing empowerment and diversity. But these aren’t just stories—they are powerful testimonies of resilience, leadership, and strength. Every guest brings something unique to the table, and their journeys inspire all of us to keep pushing for positive change.
Q: What motivates you to continue doing this work?
Sue Tran:
My biggest motivation is seeing others smile, heal, and grow. On a personal level, I came from a war-torn country, so I carry with me the belief that the next generation—especially my daughter, Alexis—deserves the best. I want her to grow up knowing that empowering others isn’t optional—it’s our responsibility. And I want that message to resonate with every child and every woman out there.
Q: How do you personally define success?
Sue Tran:
Success for me isn’t about titles or money—it’s about freedom. Freedom to spend time with my family. Freedom to be outdoors, to practice yoga, to create art, to make beautiful memories. Success is having the time and space to tap into your soul and spread love.
Q: Tell us about a milestone that made you feel especially proud on this journey.
Sue Tran:
One milestone that truly stands out was being invited to New York Fashion Week and being featured in New York fashion magazines. It was such a surreal moment! But honestly, every time I hear from a woman who says that my work or the show helped her feel seen or empowered—that’s the real achievement for me.
Q: What’s next for you? Any upcoming projects you’re excited about?
Sue Tran:
Yes! I’m currently working on launching my own yoga clothing line. The idea is to offer comfortable, stylish clothing that supports not just movement, but the entire empowerment journey. It’s something I hope will complement my work as a teacher and advocate—helping women feel good in what they wear as they chase their dreams.
Q: Lastly, what message would you like to leave with women reading this today?
Sue Tran:
I would say this: Embrace your power. Celebrate your differences. Speak your truth. Empowerment and diversity aren’t just buzzwords—they’re what make our communities and our world thrive. Let’s rally together and create a future where every woman feels confident enough to dream big, lead boldly, and lift others as she rises.
