Welcome to the Alt-Normal, a show that centers diversity as a beautiful and absolutely critical force for rebuilding this post-pandemic world that’s actually worth fighting for.
It all began with a question — how might we reframe the “New Normal” that was handed to us as crisis, and create an “Alt Normal,” or alternative reality we remake together in our diversity that is ever more sustainable, inclusive and equitable? Diversity needs a rebrand that goes deep at the core of who we are in the integration of our rich complexity. Everyone has a part to play, so let’s rise, shift and support this exciting new reality in the making.

Our intention is to amplify these stories as far and wide as we can. Thank you!
How do you integrate complexity in this post-pandemic world?
Let’s be real, we are in a crisis of consciousness — realizing the only way to change things out there is to change things first “in here.” The power structures and institutions can only take us so far. To see a world that’s diverse and inclusive for all requires us to change from the inside out, shifting into actionable models of “power with one another” versus “power over one another.”
Now more than ever, we need a new story for humanity that leans into the diversity of who we are and our emerging zones of genius — to live more truthfully in how we relate to ourselves, the community and Planet. Diversity not just demographically and psychographically, but in the way we embrace difference as a source of resiliency (while pushing past the discomfort that might naturally arise). Let’s pick up the forgotten pieces of ourselves to rebrand our story of humanity from one of separation to one of integration. Integration of the mind with the body, strategy with emergence, scientific with the spiritual, and the individual with the collective.
A massive paradigm shift is underway, and this show explores hard truths and questions that center on —what do you wish to build in this ALT-NORMAL reality?
About
the host
The Alt-Normal is hosted by Tiffany Wen and produced by Resonance™, a branding and content marketing agency that designs resonance between brands and their most valuable audience to drive the greatest impact.
Having grown up in New York as a Chinese-American-Brazilian to immigrant parents, she is no stranger to difference — she has never fit in any one box. Belonging nowhere, yet feeling at home everywhere.
As an endlessly curious human and host of this show, Tiffany marries her passion for human stories, love for the questions, and deep commitment to celebrating diversity.
Nature is the greatest teacher —in fact, the most biodiverse ecosystems are naturally the most resilient ecosystems, so why can’t the same be true for the human species?
Truth be told, this show is a labor of love and act of service for the community during these exceptionally existential times. If anything else, the Alt-Normal exists to celebrate the magnificent naturally-occurring phenomenon that diversity really is —giving its complexity the rightful place it deserves in humanity and culture at large.
