I would tell Asian American teens, specifically, that the generation they live in is one of the strongest, loudest, and most passionate ones. They can be a part of that, and are a part of that. Given the fact that I grew up in a mixed household where I was an Asian adoptee and my parents were Caucasian, they never really talked about the history of discrimination that Chinese and other Asian Americans have been through. That’s something that kind of gets brushed over in school too.

That alone gives me chills.
