Orlando Magazine highlighted Boey Ramsey as a long-standing journalist and the CEO and owner of VBR Ink, showcasing her impressive dual role in the industry.

When her father’s health started to decline, her husband lovingly encouraged her to find a way to share news that matched her vision, and that’s how VBR Ink blossomed into existence.

Since 2009, she has proudly served as the president of the Asian American Journalists Association’s Florida Chapter.

Orlando Magazine chatted with her about what makes her unique, exploring her differences and her experiences while growing up.

They quoted Boey Ramsey as she talked about her mother saying, “She taught me to be proud of being an Asian American and show others that I can fit in and be a valuable part of the community,” says Boey Ramsey. “She continues to teach me about Chinese family traditions and encourages me to help others by mentoring journalism students/professionals and volunteering in the community.”
