This essay came about because of a passing tweet I made about Chinese sapphic short films about two years ago.
I was approached by one of the editors, Layla, who encouraged me to write a piece.
We're excited to be featured in the NBCU Academy article, "Welcome to the Expansive Universe of Asian American and Pacific Islander Media"!

Not lost on me that as birthright citizenship is being challenged today, it was because of Wong Kim Ark that we have it at all.
It’s AANHPI month, which we are celebrating at work. I complain these terms are arbitrary (and they are) but also they think we are all the same anyway.
While I can’t do a ton about national legislation, I can do a lot in my community. As an East Asian person, making space for South, Southeast and other Asians and NH (Native Hawaiian) and PI (Pacific Islander) people is absolutely what I want to do. I’m helping to organize some activities at work that spotlight other cultures in our alphabet soup.
Also RIP Henry Fuhrmann, whose exhortation to drop the hyphen in Asian-American vastly expanded and included people who can consider themselves Asian American. Undocumented people. People who don’t yet have citizenship, or won’t, or can’t.
