    Episode 4: The Reboot - Seeing Myself in Adoptees On Screen

    I share what happened two years ago to make me put a long pause on the podcast. After reflecting I highlight two important Asian-American actors who are representing not only the Asian community but my own experience as a transracial adoptee: Lana Condor (To All the Boys I Loved Before) and Leah Lewis (The Half of It).  Also sending love to the Dash & Lily series, Kelly Marie Tran as the newest Disney princess, and shoutouts to the badass Asians of The Mandalorian.  Intro/Outro music credit: Eleanor Jr
