My Story

Vicky Ng Uncertified Mom

I am a freelance writer who also edits videos on the side.

My passion is food and being creative.

Uncertifed Eats

When I was a child, I dreamt of being a food and travel critic for Conde Naste. This was during a time when social media was non-existent and only a handful of people can do these jobs.

So I gave up on this dream.

But my passion never died. Food became cathartic vice, no matter if it was watching it, trying it, cooking it, or using it as a love language.

Family always asked me to try food before serving it. Family friends who owned restaurants would ask me to try dishes on their new menu to see if there needed any changes.

Then one day a good friend after hearing my Mom’s teases about my childhood dream, turned to me and said, “Vicky, this is clearly your passion, why don’t you do it?”

And slowly, Uncertified Eats was born.

But Why Uncertified?

Uncertified Mom Vicky Ng

Living in such a competitive world, we are constantly comparing and competing. Trying to get into the best company, attending the best school, or getting the most followers.

Have you ever felt inadequate? Because that’s how I felt for many years. I spent most of my teens and 20’s faking it.

When I became a Mom, it all changed. I watched all those perfect Moms in their perfect Pinterest-looking homes, perfectly parenting their babies, while my house looked ransacked and I was covered in poop.

And that was the moment, I decided to embrace the mess, that was my life. To stop comparing and competing and to tell the world that I am NOT a certified Mom. I have no certification or educational background on being a mom.

Because the irony is…none of us are.

And that’s okay, sometimes you just have to embrace it and do it.

So Uncertfied Mom came to be, then Uncertified Vicky, and the Uncertified world.

It is a reminder that we should all take the time to embrace being a little imperfect and a little uncertified. 
(unless you’re trying to be a doctor…don’t do that if you aren’t certified.).
