Ally Maki and Sonja Rasula

Not all mentor and mentee relationships start with a corporate introduction—or even within the same industry. In fact, sometimes they start with a simple DM. At least, that was the case for Ally Maki and Sonja Rasula, whose connection began thanks to expressing a little bit of mutual admiration on social media. In this episode of Mentor Memos, the new podcast from the Girlboss Radio Network, produced in partnership with TRESemmé, we hear from actress and entrepreneur Ally Maki, and her mentor, Sonja Rasula, founder & CEO of The Unique Market, a curated pop-up event for local artisans. Tune in to hear what inspired Ally to launch Asian American Girls Club, an apparel company aimed at connecting Asian American women with each other—and, how Sonja has been there to help her every step of the way. The two discuss what it takes to form community, how to reach out to a founder who is short on time, and how we can all overcome our fears.
