Orientelle | Online Community for the Modern Asian Canadian Women
Orientelle is Canada's first online community for Asian women - even its name is a fusion of "Orient" with "Elle" ("she" in French). Although we've always thought "Orient" is a socially-constructed word used by the colonial power elite, and should only be used to describe vases and carpets....but we'll let it pass.
Orientelle was created by Theany Chan as a place where Asian Canadian women could communicate and identify with each other. Her in words:
"Asian women are under-represented in the media and are under-served in the marketplace. We are hoping to change that and of course, have fun at the same time!"Orientelle features a Fashionista section with beauty tips for Asian women; latest street styles; and Fabulous Finds; a Brain Power section with articles for career development and inspiration; and a Discussion Forum to exchange ideas and communicate.
Wonders of wonders, Orientelle is based out of Montreal! Not Vancouver, not Toronto.
