Intersections: A Journalistic History of Asian America: Entertainment, March 2025

I am thrilled to be among the writers contributing to Intersections: A Journalistic History of Asian America. This book, which started as a celebration of the Asian American Journalists Association’s 40-year anniversary in 2021, has blossomed into a collaboration with UCLA’s Asian American Studies Center.

Within the chapter on entertainment, I have written a short profile on one of my friends and mentors, Jeannie Park, and a longer feature – including interviews with esteemed colleagues such as Jeff Yang, Paula Yoo and Neal Justin – on why it is important to have Asian American journalists and artists both celebrating, documenting and evolving pop culture.
