Ming was born in China and raised in San Francisco. In middle school, she took an interest in home economics and intended to major in it in college.[5] However, her school soon canceled the program. After starting to take merchandising, marketing, and fashion design classes,[5] in 1978, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in clothing merchandising with a minor in marketing from San José State University.[2] In May 2012, Ming delivered the keynote address at San José State University's spring commencement ceremony and received an honorary doctor of humane letters from the university.[6][7]
