I've been in love with the movies, Crazy Rich Asians & To All the Boys I've Loved Before for many reasons. Not only are they great, captivating stories, this means a lot to me as an Asian American, especially one in entertainment & media. Growing up Asian American, I rarely saw anyone who looked like me on TV or in movies. Representation in mainstream media and dominant culture matters. This week, I truly felt it for real.

My story isn't everyone's story—it's just one piece of this giant fabric of experiences—but I really enjoyed sharing this (feels good to get it off my chest for some reason) and so I hope you find some value in this. Sending lots of love, as always.
