Pacific Overtures closed in December and I don’t think I will ever have all the words to describe the beauty of this experience. 🎑🪭
A massive thank you to my family, friends, and mentors who came out to see the show. You are my world and I am here because of you!
A massive thank you to Tim Dang, Marc Macalintal, and Yuka Takara for trusting me to be a small part of your vision.
This cast. This family. We made magic together, but it’s the offstage moments I hold closest. The stories tucked safely into the pages of my journal, warmly radiate the joy that was felt. The countless inside jokes, your individual laughs echo so distinctly through my mind. Thank you for showing me kindness, for allowing me the space to be myself, demonstrating what it means to be hard working and passionate artists in this industry, and sharing pieces of yourselves. It has meant the absolute world.
To every single person who laid a hand on this show, Ed, Mikayla, Bonnie, Yoko, Naomi, JJ, Miki, Amanda, Antonio, the musicians, crew, wardrobe, Sensei, Andy, and so many more. THANK YOU.
Thank you East West Players for this community. I feel immense pride. I feel deep gratitude. I feel the love that lingers still.
We float (forever!)

from childhood to adulthood, my favorite days are always the ones spent at grandma and grandpa’s house 🏠💙
Yesterday we said goodbye to my grandpa. A man kind of heart, happiest dancing and singing to country music in the living room. I am so fortunate to have had a childhood full of playing pretend and love- he showed me that I could be anything! I am the woman I am today because of him. We will miss your wisdom, your humor, your everything. We love you so much grandpa, words will never be enough! Your spirit lives in us ᡣ𐭩

grab that book (the DSM-5) and let’s do this, instead of doodling hearts all through this! 🍾 ᥫ᭡
