As I\u2019m growing older, I\u2019m growing into who I am, more so because I\u2019m starting to love who I am.\nToday I\u2019m super excited to introduce you to my longtime friend, Arden Cho. Arden not only plays a lead character on MTV\u2019s series Teen Wolf, but she is also a musician and has recorded an album and performed all over the world. We met on a photoshoot for a Reebok campaign many years ago, and it has been awesome to watch her career blow up over the past few years.\n\nArden is a total sweetheart, an overall amazing human being, and in this interview we get to talk about her life behind the scenes: what her why is, the changes she wants to make in this world, and why it\u2019s important to be vulnerable. Listen in to hear her talk about her insecurities as a minority in the entertainment industry and how she has grown through them.
