It’s been a month of celebration for Asian+Americans with TAAF, but it also reflects generations of navigating cultural identity, pride, and resilience.
This PSA was our tribute to the Asian+American community, especially the friends, collaborators, peers, and family that shared this journey together.
This is a reminder that we can be proud to be both American and Asian. It’s about honoring the way we were raised and seeing the strength in our unique stories. We are reminded of the people who came here to give us better lives. We carry their legacy. Especially my mom, who you’ll see in the first photo in the archival clip :)
10 years in heaven.
Your contagious laughter, irresistible comfort, and love will always shine within me.
We love you and miss you, Mom.
ps. I noticed I’ve picked up your addicting habits of collecting fandom and reading the same books you use to read. Please don’t make me read Pride and Prejudice.

Happy birthday to the one and only, my wife, who isn’t scared to take us to extreme heights, who pushes us to live life to the fullest, even if we’re at our lowest of lows, but encourages us to aim higher, because that’s what life is all about: making trips not just around the world, but another trip around the sun.
