Modern Minorities

Alice Lee is an actress, singer, and songwriter starring in the NBC show “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” where she plays Emily Kang, an Asian-American...who’s now a new mom. In the most recent episode, the characters grapple - and come to terms with - Emily’s postpartum depression, which like many mental health issues in this country...is not something we talk about often enough - especially in the Asian community. In a ranging conversation that covers Alice’s childhood in the midwestern Korean suburbs, performing on + off-Broadway (“Wish Upon” + “Heathers: the Musical”) and smoking weed with her dad - we learn a little bit more about Alice...
