The CK Daily – Love and Lunar New Year
Happy Tuesday, friends! Coming off Valentine’s weekend, I wanted to share a fun CK love story with you.
Picture it: Georgia, 2018. (Golden Girls, anyone?) Craig, our CEO, and two members of our sourcing team are planning a trip to China. Somewhere a little late in the planning process, they realize they’ll need an interpreter to travel with them. Through a connection, they’re introduced to Angelina, a Chinese-born, English-speaking interpreter who works in translation and interpretation across several fields.
Angelina agrees to meet our team at the airport and travel with them. What they didn’t know yet was that this trip would become a turning point for one member of our sourcing team…
Before I tell you the rest of that story, there’s one more piece that connects to all of this: Lunar New Year.
Years ago, before we had suppliers in Asian countries, Lunar New Year wasn’t something that was really on my radar. I may have seen parades with big dragons or noticed Zodiac signs printed on placemats at my local Chinese restaurant, but I didn’t fully understand the traditions or how much it impacts the world.
Today, Lunar New Year impacts us in many ways. We plan around supplier shutdowns during celebrations, we have team members in the Philippines who celebrate, and we have dear friends living everyday life in China. Lunar New Year 2026 runs from February 17 to March 3, and during that time some of our team members will share how they celebrate in their country. I’m excited to learn more about their traditions!
Next time, I’ll tell you what happened when our team met Angelina at the airport…
