Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues- the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. Today we are going on a linguistic journey around the world speaking Wenzhou, French and Mandarin with Lihui Ke, the founder and creative director of Kerisma Knits, a family owned, Los Angeles based knitwear design company.
In this episode, Lihui tells us some of her story from her time growing up in China, moving to Paris at a young age, moving once again to New York City before ultimately settling in Los Angeles. I was so happy to have this conversation because Lihui has spent her life between many different cultures and has learned four different languages in an immersive context. I love adding voices like hers to this show because as I’ve said many times, we all come to and come through language learning and cultural experience so differently. Topics and diversions of this episode include: language preservation of Wenzhou, cultural identity, a desire to learn sanskrit and the influence of culture on design!
