I so rarely read mixed race experiences about people who were raised predominantly by one side of their family, which I relate with strongly. I've always felt incomplete in comparison to those who were raised with heavy influences from both sides of their family. It's refreshing to read this perspective, and I'm sure many others share it! <333

Thank you so much! I've interviewed a lot of people who have lost a connection to one side of their family for various reasons, so dive into the archives and I'm sure there's more than will resonate with you.

Great interview! The questions are right on point...I've never had anyone ask me any of this. Well, I've had people ask me if I'm from North or South Korea....we really need a school system redesign.

Thank you so much! I do feel like these conversations with my guests are so special because we get each other in a way that many others don't, the same with you readers!

I'm also in the creative film/theatre space and relate to this deeply. Although I've got a couple more decades of experience now, carving out our own spaces seems to be the best bet for our genuine shine to get through.

A lot of other guests have shared the same thing, saying they have to write the characters and stories they want to see. It's a shame, but I hope when you all elevate to a place when you're writing/ creating/ casting, we see that change trickle through!
