@wen_mingna: People say be wary of meeting your idols, you may be disappointed. Well, when I met my idol, Amy Tan, she EXCEEDED my expectations. And continues to amaze and inspire me. She's my QUEEN! 👑 So blessed to have her as a role model and mentor. #JoyLuckClub This recipe and MORE is in my cookbook, "Have You Eaten Yet?" that you can pre-order now!
The only Asian representation was Rosalind Chao at that time and to see her and you was a blessing. I wish we could see more.

I met Amy Tan when I was invited to style her in her home in 2021. We spent 6 hours shooting and dancing to ABBA! It was beyond. I cried a few times because she is one of my favorite authors. ❤️

Honestly, what is the secret behind your radiant appearance, your cheerful, childlike spirit, and those calm, innocent facial features, like those of a newborn baby?
And your spontaneity in sharing moments from your daily life without pretension or trying too hard—you simply post your videos and photos, no matter how simple the quality or how casual the situation, without caring about the opinions of bullies or what people might say.
I truly admire you for that beautiful authenticity. What’s even more admirable is how you seem to live your life for yourself, not to please others. 🌷😻

I’m not Asian. I am Pacific Islander. And I remember seeing The Joy Luck Club in the movie theater and crying because it was the first time I saw representation of women of color. I will forever be grateful for this movie.

That movie adaptation came out when I was in college and as an Asian-American kid, it was a big deal getting representation like that in a mainstream film.

That movie changed the trajectory of how I saw not looked at Asian women. From the culture, food, language, music, clothing, war, travesty, heartbreak, trials and suffering they went through. I saw from a woman's prospective of what life was like for them even after they came to America. Their sacrifices each one went through. Such a wonderful movie. Cried through and through. Talented artists !
