Our Asian at Condé Nast ERG hosted a conversation in collaboration with our Parents & Caregivers ERG with New York Assemblywoman Grace Lee on writing culture into policy and recognizing Lunar Year. Grace Lee discussed the value of recognizing Lunar Year and how she successfully passed legislation that uplifts a community. Signed by Governor Hochul, this legislation now requires public schools statewide to close on Lunar New Year, allowing opportunities for both celebration and education. Condé Nast extends our warmest wishes to all who are celebrating Lunar New Year. We embrace diversity and the richness of cultures that make our community vibrant and inclusive. We recognize the significance of Lunar New Year and the traditions that accompany it, and we celebrate with our colleagues around the world. This joyous occasion marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar year, symbolizing fresh beginnings, prosperity, and good fortune. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and setting intentions for the year ahead. May the Year of the Dragon bring auspicious opportunities and exciting advancements for all.

Maximize Your Real Estate Opportunities: Expert Strategies from a Certified Distressed Real Estate Specialist
Celebrating Lunar New Year in the Chinese American Community: Embracing Heritage through Family and Food The Lunar New Year is a deeply cherished celebration among Chinese Americans, symbolizing much more than the vibrant displays of red and gold, or the mesmerizing dragon dances. It is a period for family reunions, where loved ones travel from across the nation to share in the joy of the festival, exchange red envelopes symbolizing luck, enjoy games, and welcome the new year together. This celebration serves as a vital link for Chinese Americans to their rich cultural heritage, offering a unique way for the younger generation to connect with the traditions of their parents and ancestors. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, which has necessitated smaller gatherings and virtual celebrations, the spirit of the Lunar New Year remains unshaken. It continues to be a time focused on renewing hopes for the future while respecting and remembering the past, resonating deeply after a year of hardships for many. Lunar New Year celebrations in the United States might look different from traditional observances, with festivities often condensed into a single night of feasting. However, the significance of these gatherings is no less profound. Families come together to share a New Year's Eve dinner, a practice steeped in meaning and togetherness. The feast itself is a highlight, featuring dishes rich in symbolism and tradition. Families might prepare a variety of foods such as dumplings, symbolizing prosperity; whole fish, representing abundance; longevity noodles, signifying a wish for a long life; and whole chicken, indicating family unity. These dishes are not only delicious but serve as a medium for passing down cultural values and fostering a sense of belonging among Chinese American families. In a time marked by increased anti-Asian sentiment, the Lunar New Year stands as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing and celebrating one's cultural identity. It is an opportunity to slow down, gather with loved ones, and reflect on the enduring values of family and tradition. As we explore the meaning behind the Lunar New Year and its culinary traditions, we're reminded of the unique blend of cultural heritage and American life that Chinese Americans navigate. Celebrating Lunar New Year offers a moment to affirm cultural roots while engaging in the broader tapestry of American society. #LunarNewYear2024 #ChineseAmericanCulture #FamilyTraditions #HeritageCelebration #NewBeginnings #CulturalIdentity #FoodAndCulture

Navigating Gifting This Lunar New Year! With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, it’s that exciting time again for celebrations, reunions, and yes, the tradition of giving and receiving gifts! 🎁✨ While this season fills us with joy and the spirit of generosity, it’s also a good moment to share a gentle reminder on the ethics of accepting gifts, inspired by recent discussions in Singapore and a response to parliamentary questions about rules on gifts to public servants by Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing. Quoting Minister Chan “When it comes to meals, officers must have good sense to know when they are being cultivated and reject such attempts, but this does not mean that they should not go out and interact with others to understand the business and social communities.” Here are some friendly yet professional tips for us all: Say No to Soliciting - Asking for gifts, especially in our professional roles, is a big no-no. It’s all about maintaining the integrity and trust we've worked so hard to build. Mind the Intent - It’s the thought that counts, right? Let’s ensure our gifts reflect genuine appreciation and goodwill, not expectations or obligations. Keep It Open - Always approach gift-giving and receiving with openness (for instance, sharing with colleagues). Transparency not only builds trust but also ensures our actions are clear and understandable to everyone involved. When in Doubt, Declare - Received a gift that makes you think twice? Declaring it or discussing it openly can help maintain transparency and keep everything above board. Understand the Rules - While it’s okay to enjoy the tradition of gift exchange, being mindful of the guidelines (like keeping gifts below a certain value) helps avoid any misunderstandings. Seek Guidance if Unsure - If you ever find yourself in a tricky situation, don’t hesitate to seek advice. Transparency is key, and when in doubt, it's always better to ask and clarify. Further guidelines can also be found on Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau’s webpage. As we embrace the joy and traditions of Lunar New Year, let’s also cherish the values of integrity and transparency in our professional interactions. Wishing everyone a wonderful festive holiday! #NationalUniversityofSingapore #InternalAudit #LunarNewYear #Gifting #NUS

Happy Chinese New Year from everyone here at MAP Talent, below is our very own Adam Li who heads up our Data team, explaining what this special day means to him. “Growing up in England I always felt shy to celebrate this time, however, the older I have got, the more proud I have got of my heritage. I would always feel uncomfortable when people asked me why I celebrated New Year at a different time to every other child in school. As I have got older I understand the importance of educating others and helping people understand what it means. To me, Chinese New Year is a celebration of spending time with loved ones and giving back to your family. Typically we see friends and family and celebrate by eating sticky rice, giving each other red envelopes ($$ with money) and catching up with family like you usually do at Christmas. We celebrate Chinese New Year at a different time to western society because we celebrate the lunar calendar year. It is different because Chinese New Year usually falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice. This year is the year of the DRAGON. If you are born in the following years' 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, then this is YOUR year. This is your cycle of celebrating the year you were born. If you were born in this year, typically you are seen to be wise, have strength and have good luck. I have many traditions at Chinese New Year but to simplify it there are 3 things you can do yourself at this time! 3 Chinese New Year traditions: 🐲 Remove old clothes and buy a new outfit! 🐲 Clean your space and add something new to the flat/room! 🐲 Wish someone Kung Hei Fat Choi! Translation: "Wishing you lots of money!"

Get to Know 👉 Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. Known as the Spring Festival in China or Chinese New Year in East Asian countries, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea — it is the most important annual celebration. 🎊 “New Year, New You” as the saying goes, and the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Koreans take this seriously when it comes to the Lunar New Year as it is the start of a brand-new lunar year. It is believed that these festive traditions are essential to start the new year off on the right foot. 🧧 At #Vietnam offices, we pray for a successful new year with prosperity and good health, and gifting each other “li xi” (or lucky money) in red envelopes as a wish of luck and good things to happen to them in the new year. 🧧 At HQ #Singapore offices and #China offices, our management practise a symbolic custom of spreading the festive joy by giving red envelopes or red packets (containing cash gifts) to our employees and convey best wishes for a prosperous start in the new year. 🔥 The significance of the red envelope is actually the red paper itself, rather the cash gift inside. In Eastern Asian cultures, red colour represents fire and symbolises good luck and prosperity. 🏮 As this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations end today, this 15th day of celebration is known as元宵节 which marks the first full moon of the New Year. Because lanterns are lighted and carried, it is also known as the Lantern Festival. 🌝 Actually 元宵 has another meaning. In Chinese, 元 can mean "first" and 宵 usually refers to "night". So 元宵 literally means the first night that we can see the full moon in the lunar new year. It symbolizes the arrival of spring and the end of the Chinese New Year celebration. 🥣 On this day, families gather and eat tangyuan (汤圆) – glutinous rice balls in sweet soup – symbolising reunion. 𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 元宵节快乐! 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏! 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑 𝑮𝒐𝒉 𝑴𝒆𝒊! 👍Follow #MakinoAroundtheWorld to know us better. #EmployeeEngagement #CultureMatters #festival #CNY2024 #HappyLunarNewYear #DragonYear

Regenerative Systems Facilitator & Organizational Culture Designer | Co-Founder of (re)Biz & (re)Purpose Law | TEDxSpeaker | Evolutionizing Business Worldview & Mindset with Relational Intelligence
Very proud of what we're creating at Sixth Sun Immersions as a step in deepening the embodied transformational global leadership work of (re)Biz and (re)purpose law. Sixth Sun Immersions exists because contextually and culturally relevant experiences serve as the catalyst for our transition into a regenerative future, where the wisdom of our ancestors and the richness of diverse traditions guide our path. By immersing ourselves in cultural lifeways and practices that honor our deep interconnections with Earth and each other, we ignite the power of internal healing that radiates outward, transforming our external systems. This holistic approach fosters environments where sustainability is the norm, and harmony with nature and community thrives within a deeply rooted worldview. In this way, we move beyond perpetual healing from systemic ills, continuing to create business-as-usual, and "better bad things", as Ramsay Taum says, and our reformed systems themselves nurture well-being, resilience, and balance, creating a world where we flourish together. Yes, that means more profitability and revenue as well. Important note: Attending these immersions demands more than a willingness to entertain new ideas; it requires a readiness for profound transformation. Participants must come prepared to undergo a radical shift in their worldview, one that fundamentally alters their perception of reality towards deeper connection. This experience will not merely introduce incremental changes or fresh perspectives but will deeply realign their entire approach to life and work. The immersion journey fosters a profound connection to Earth's wisdom and indigenous teachings, which catalyze a complete paradigm shift. This transformation ensures that everything they create henceforth is imbued with deeper alignment, purpose, and a commitment to sustainability and holistic well-being. It is a call to those who seek not just to change but to awaken to a different way of being, fundamentally transforming the trajectory of their impact on the world. If you're curious to learn more, the link will be in the comments to our website and our upcoming immersions in Mexico, O'ahu and Brazil. In solidarity with life, Ryan
