@michelleyeoh_official has always meant a great deal to so many of us as an icon of representation. Five years ago, her portrayal of Asian motherhood led me to a pivotal moment of self-discovery. And these past 30 days, as I worked on the cover story of my dreams, unexpected personal events and heartbreaks brought me fresh resonance with her life and work. I'm so relieved to have gotten through this month, both personally and professionally. What a miracle indeed that Michelle Yeoh exists. I stare at this brilliant cover (📸 @zemotion) and am thankful for the message and graceful strength she embodies: What have I got to be afraid of?
