Feelings Of Post Nostalgia

Growing up in a rural, conservative, and predominantly white community was not easy as one of the five Asian American kids at school. It took a deep toll on my mental health and self-image that lead to 14 years of self-loathing. But, through media, I was able to find Asian idols, content creators, and public figures, that catalyzed my sense of personal success and self-worth. In short, representation matters.
