Spoke with @teenvogue and showed up with transparency and vulnerability for an email interview. Can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve drafted and redrafted my 4-page long Google doc responses— jumping in/out of showers (mid-shower) to capture a thought and skipping sleep to chip away at the questions. Deep gratitude to @claire_ifying for the thoughtful interview questions, being so respectful in preserving as much of my story as possible, and holding space to share my experiences on Asian American representation in TV/movies, what it was like filming CW’s #gossipgirl and invited back on the new @hbomax @gossipgirl, my thoughts on the legacy of #nellyyuki, commitment to inclusive storytelling via @88cupsoftea, and community-focused work through @heartofdinner.
