Artists Sharing

Sarah Yeung (@say bon)

After I had my first child, life became repetitive and not my own – work, cook, clean, sleep, and repeat. I was busy, yet I was bored I lost my sense of self as I lived my life for everyone else. “Who am I?” seemed to be a difficult question to answer.

I started SAY BON as a desperate plea for a self-created adventure to which I can understand myself, without the roles of a wife or a mother. The name SAY BON is a play on the French words “C’est Bon” (It’s good), while SAY also carries the initials of my husband and I.

When Across approached me with the idea of the Crafteria Artisan Market, I jumped to the opportunity right away. I was ecstatic not only because of the chance to gain brand exposure, but to step foot into a place where I called my second home for many years. In my early adult years, Across provided me a platform of self discovery, to explore skills that I never knew I had, and to shape me into who I am now.

Today, as a mother of two, with life seemingly out of control most of the time, Across is still providing me with a stage where I can pursue my dream. Instead of constantly living for my family, for just a few short hours, I was able to be myself, to connect with those whom I met and worked with many years ago, to focus on my heart’s desire, and to be reminded on what it means to just be “Sarah” again
