Tiny Rice Grains explores the human side of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
Given the business case that diverse and inclusive organizations thrive and drive better performance, the question begs to be asked: why are so many organizations still struggling to implement and embed DEI in the workplace?
The book explores this question and tackles how DEI strategies are often approached. as standalone initiatives rather than being woven into the fabric of the organization. Too many people are still afraid to have brave conversations and confront uncomfortable truths in the realm of DEI.
What strikes me as I work in this area is the impact that small actions can have. Like dropping a single rice grain into water creates ripples, small acts of kindness and inclusion can have ripple effects, inspiring others to do the same and creating a cascading impact for those around us.
Each of our small actions adds up to a greater whole. DEI doesn’t need one passionate person leading the charge. It needs all of us to do our part, in whatever small ways we can, to make our workplaces more inclusive.
I have found the three principles of courage, curiosity, and care to be useful when approaching DEI, and I share my learnings in this area throughout my book. I also bring in other people’s stories and perspectives, widening the conversation and giving readers a chance to learn from a collective wisdom far greater than mine alone.
“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
One of the earliest thinkers and observers of manifestation, James Allen was the first to identify the connection between man’s thought, actions and destiny. Allen argues that the quality of our thoughts shapes our lives, determines our success and happiness; they are the seeds from which our actions and circumstances grow.
Through the narrative James Allen explains how individuals have the power to control their thoughts, and consequently, their destinies. It is an important read to understand how to overcome negative thoughts, prevent succumbing to defeat, and how to build a strong relationship with one’s thoughts, and be the master of our own minds.

In this part-memoir, part-manifesto, body image, identity and relationship to self come under scrutiny in the microcosm of Asia’s hot house—Singapore, playground of the crazy rich and OCD capital of the world. Written by former model turned dermatologist Dr Teo Wan Lin, this book is the hot (meaning, sweltering) girl’s guide to keeping cool while staying beautiful…like a tropical extraterrestrial.
Seriously.
Set in the early 2000s, Wan Lin, then a medical student moonlighting as a model, finds herself developing obsessive rituals—endless mirror checking, constant ruminations and self-doubt. Paid to party with the rich while pretending to be hot, what she tells no one, is that all she wants to do is perch under the air-con. She spins often in posh tutus in 6-inch stillettos, only to realise that pretense often isn’t enough, when she finds out she isn’t believed.
Along the way, she compiles a model’s guide to surviving society events for B-listers like herself —she wasn’t exotic Eurasian, but Singaporean Chinese; becoming an A-list Eurasian model’s sidekick, learning to haunt like a polite ghost (who really wasn’t on the guest list) and a doppelgänger known by a different name—these she called, tricks of the trade.
Through a heartfelt telling of one Singapore girl’s story, this book attempts to unravel the complexities of beauty standards, whether self-imposed or societal—it is dangerous to fall for stereotypes. Not just in the world of fashion and beauty, but also academia. Her message? Singapore’s obsession with labels has a price tag, too.
