Rachel Song: The Chinese Barbie Queen Taking the World by Storm
In today’s world of fashion and entertainment, few figures shine as brightly as Rachel Song. Known to the public as the “Chinese Barbie Queen” due to her striking resemblance to the iconic doll, Rachel’s all-natural waist-to-hip ratio of 0.55 is just one of her many claims to fame. This Chinese Canadian sensation is an international supermodel, sought-after beauty queen, influencer with viral success, and rising actress.
Rachel’s accolades speak volumes about her influence in the modeling world. She was honored with the 2024 Influential Model of The Year Award by the International Celebrity Awards during the Cannes Film Festival. She also secured the 3rd place for Best Female Model 2023, awarded by Waves and Runways Magazine and International Fashion Magazine, and won the Fashion & Style People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Waterfront Awards.
Her success extends beyond the runway to the pageant stage. Rachel first captured the title of Mrs. China USA in January 2023, followed by Mrs. Photogenic at the 35th Asia USA, Europe Global & Latina Global in November 2023, and was crowned Ms. Canada World in 2024.
As a global influencer, Rachel leverages her extensive network to promote the International Peace Festival, originally initiated in Toronto, and now expanding globally under her guidance as VP of Global Development. Her influence isn’t just limited to modeling and pageantry; Rachel is also making waves in Hollywood. Represented by Firestone Talent Management in Hollywood and Rasta Phil Entertainment in Canada, she has caught the attention of famous Hollywood producers like Ceci Cleary and Andy Gould. Hollywood heavyweights are not the only ones captivated by Rachel. Steve Erhardt, Michael Jackson’s longtime hair & makeup artist, took Rachel under his wing, mentoring her and preparing her for the fame that she is quickly amassing.
Rachel’s journey from politics to fashion is nothing short of inspiring. Discovered in July 2022 at a Toronto fashion show, she quickly transitioned from a career in politics and journalism to the glitz and glam of the runway. By October 2022, she was modeling alongside Miss Toronto and Miss Hong Kong and working for brands like L’Oréal Redken.
Her transition into Hollywood was marked by her participation in the LA Model Showcase, where she competed against much younger models and secured a three-year contract with Bounty Models in Beverly Hills, a testament to her talent and perseverance. Before her meteoric rise, Rachel’s life was rooted in hard work and determination. An MBA graduate from the University of Ottawa, she built a career in Canadian politics, holding significant roles such as Chief of Staff for a Member of Provincial Parliament and federal election campaign manager. Her journey from political aid to the brand ambassador for major couture brands like KH Luxury and Berri’N Couture highlights her versatility and relentless drive. Rachel’s stunning presence has been featured in prestigious publications worldwide, including Grazia, Daily Mail, InStyle Magazine, ExtraTV, and Yahoo News. Her impeccable style and eye-catching figure make her a standout at star-studded events like the Elton John Oscar bash and the Primetime Emmys Governors Ball. A video of her at the 75th Emmys Governors Ball went viral, amassing 12 million views on TikTok and Instagram within three months.
Rachel continues to break barriers and inspire women everywhere, with a career defined by a pattern of overcoming obstacles and achieving greatness. With audiences demanding more diversity in talent, Rachel Song’s future is undoubtedly bright, promising new heights for her and those who follow in her footsteps.

New York, NY

International Yoga Day 2025 was marked with uplifting energy, deep spiritual resonance, and a dash of humor as Emmy-nominated filmmaker and wellness advocate Tirlok Malik brought smiles to faces worldwide with his signature “Happy Life Yoga” session at Central Park, New York. The event was “UPLIFTNY2025,” an inspiring celebration of International Yoga Day hosted by philanthropist Meera Gandhi and her foundation, “The Giving Back Foundation.”

Held on June 21, the event blended yoga, mindfulness, laughter, and storytelling — all elements that have come to define Malik’s unique approach to wellness. With the backdrop of Central Park’s summer bloom, participants from various walks of life gathered in person and online, connecting across continents through yoga and joy.

On June 22, the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) hosted its Annual Global Virtual Celebration, continuing its tradition of organizing large-scale online gatherings since the pandemic. Now in its fourth consecutive year of going digital, the GOPIO event has evolved into a truly global affair, connecting Indian-origin professionals, leaders, and changemakers across time zones.

Ambassador Binaya Srikanta Pradhan, Consul General of India in New York, served as the Chief Guest for this virtual event, which was led by GOPIO Chairman Dr. Thomas Abraham and President Prakash Shah. Participants included individuals from diverse regions — North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia — and professions ranging from scientists and authors to entrepreneurs and even a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Tirlok Malik participated in the event as both a wellness advocate and filmmaker, sharing insights into how joy and positive thinking can serve as bridges between cultures. “Whether it’s yoga or storytelling, the aim is to touch lives and spread happiness,” he said during the virtual gathering.

On the cinematic front, Malik was also present at The New York Indian Film Festival, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its journey as the oldest and most respected Indian film festival in North America.

Tirlok Malik, who has attended every edition of the festival, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Aseem Chhabra, the festival director, and the entire team for consistently organizing this enriching event for New Yorkers. He also praised the festival as a vibrant space where audiences can enjoy the premieres of thought-provoking, artistic films and engage with members of the film fraternity in an atmosphere brimming with creative energy.

Among the showcased films was Tanvi the Great, a moving feature directed by the legendary Anupam Kher, which received heartfelt appreciation for its powerful performances and universal theme. There was also Mr Anupam Kher’s friend, a Hollywood and New York’s most loved actor, Robert De Niro.

Meanwhile, Malik’s short film Hello Dad — directed by Neha Lohia and co-starring Swiss actress Ankita Makwana — continues to gain critical acclaim. The touching father-daughter story, filmed in New York, has been honored with the prestigious Environmental Media Association (EMA) Green Seal Award. This recognition is reserved for productions that adhere to eco-friendly filming practices while delivering compelling narratives.

From breathing joy into yoga mats in Central Park to sparking emotional introspection through film, Tirlok Malik continues to inspire across mediums and platforms. His work — grounded in joy, wellness, and consciousness — reminds us that happiness isn’t a luxury, but a daily practice.

“My mother was the type of woman who would put the needs of her family ahead of her own. I wanted to establish a foundation that would keep her memory alive and at the same time help other women like her. I wanted to give women battling cancer a night where they would be treated like a rock star. To walk the red carpet, speak, perform or just attend an event where they could feel the support of, not only their loved ones, but complete strangers as well. I also wanted to be able to provide them with a financial gift to pay their bills or take a trip or whatever they wanted to use it for. That is exactly what the Carol Galvin Foundation New York Fashion Week Gala does.”

Rick Galvin also runs a music entertainment company, CG Talent Management, which has two movies in the works and has worked with past celebrities such as Garrett Clayton/Elias Harger/Meredith O’Connor/Krista Allen/Brian Austin Greene and many more.
