Who is Gloria Ng?
Bestselling author Gloria Ng (sounds like "ing" and rhymes with "wing") believes in the power of our voices to make our planet and universe sing. Our collective growth is based upon our collective harmony, with particular attention to the unique voices of those who are traditionally underheard and underserved. Gloria uses her voice in print.
Gloria had her trial-by-fire experience in writing, editing, graphic design, layout, publicity, distribution, fund-raising, grant-writing and staff recruitment-training-retention of a small news publication whose bank account balance was pennies when she stepped in and was two print issues' funding ahead with regular staff on board by the time she transitioned to its advisory board. Gloria's personal narrative writing has appeared in anthologies, including YELL-Oh Girls! Emerging Voices Explore Culture, Identity, and Growing Up Asian American and the #1 Amazon bestseller The Gratitude Book Project: My Favorite Christmas Memory. She went on to edit the anthology New Moms, New Families: Priceless Gifts of Wisdom and Practical Advice from Mama Experts for the Fourth Trimester and First Year Postpartum. Gloria Ng now spends her time writing and publishing more books while simultaneously being a mother and primary caretaker of 3 children. Seeing a lack of bilingual books to read to her then infant-toddler, she thus created the Mama Gloria™ Chinese-English Bilingual Books series. Her first children's book debuted as an Amazon bestseller in 3 categories and remains on the bestseller list. Work-Life Balance, here she comes! Gloria's mission and expertise is to inspire and create a culture of peace toward self-care, people care and earth care. She supports people fully employing their passion and purpose toward sustainability and thrive-ability. You can read more about Gloria Ng's professional background here.
