On Mixed-Race Identity - Part 4/6

TRANSCRIPTION: I think there's a luxury of being neither one nor the other. Growing up, I never really fit into any one category. Like, "Are you a foreign student? Are you an American? Are you... What are you?" But questioning that early on is very, very important. And this sort of fluidity that we have as half-Asian American, half something else, I think is fantastic as an artist. Because people always want to know kind of where you fit. And if people don't know how to place you, then they can't really dismiss you. And I think that walking that line of "who is she?" kind of keeps me around a little longer.
