Evolution of a New Luxury, the Ipoh girl alludes to her childhood memories. Asian family, 3rd generation of Chinese. Deb-B parents lived in the middle class, traditional yet refined HUMBLE LUXURY background. The Luxury has nothing to do with the wealth nor the exclusivity or splendour, “we make our living by giving,” her dad said. She then adopted the mindset, Give before we Make. The influence of her parents has shaped her to set her giving without boundaries goal. She believes that higher education could reshape the philanthropy mindset of many.
