BK's writing has appeared in publications like Sexology International, Any Other Way (Coach House 2017), the Tete-a-Tete, SimplySxy.com, and Action Canada's national education manual. BK was named "2014 Service Provider of the Year" by Planned Parenthood of Toronto, and one of 30 distinctive Chinese Canadian women in Ontario in 2017.
​
In addition to her content expertise, BK has training in Creative Facilitation, Productive Thinking, Non-Violent Communication, and is a facilitator for YES!, which hosts intensive gatherings for social changemakers worldwide.

BK is currently working on a series of children's books about feelings, and a series of mini books about cultural competence. Her online course on Emotional Intelligence is slated to be released in Fall 2017.
