Such a beautiful article. Relatable although I cannot speak to your exact experiences, I really empathize with a lot of the themes you discuss (I am transracially adopted AAPI). I continue to love this platform which shows how interconnected we are. Thank you for the courage to share your life experiences, I hope you feel more seen and validated. Also, lovely picture of your mom, you are both very beautiful AAPI women! 💜 Cheers to you on the journey.
