By the way, May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month (AANHPIHM). Let’s just call it Asian MAX month. My relationship with my Asian-American identity has evolved throughout my life. I gotta admit, things were a bit more complicated in the ‘80s and ‘90s. There just weren’t that many of us, and fewer examples of us in inspiring positions – whether in careers or culture. Being Asian-American back then was like being Jar Jar Binks. You were the homie, but nobody really looked to you to be the hero. You spoke a funny language; it was also hard to relate. Audience scores were not testing well.
You are opening my eyes to so many things and I’m grateful to you for that!!
