In this episode I talk about my experience of growing up as an Asian American. There was a lot of shame, assimilating to whiteness, and also confusion of my identity.
It was a constant battle of not being asian enough or being too white. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I met one of my best friends in 4th grade. This friendship gave me permission to accept myself in ways I couldn’t get to, alone.
Surrounding yourself with people who celebrate your multicultural background and love you because of it is so important in cultivating authenticity in this world.
