Since becoming a mom to my daughter, Gemma, last year, I’ve come across so many wonderful Asian-owned brands that promote cultural diversity and learning through their books, toys, and so much more. But I noticed there wasn’t a single place where I could find these resources all together.

So, I decided to create Gemma & Friends, an online shop (and hopefully a physical one someday!) that offers curated children’s books, toys, and gifts from Asian-owned small businesses all over the world.

Thank you for being on this journey with me! I’m excited to support our community and, together, foster cultural awareness, spark creativity, and inspire learning for the next generation.
