This video features the diverse viewpoints of people with multiracial Asian heritages. African and Japanese American poet and playwright Velina Hasu Houston lives an “amalgamated existence” and encourages others to take pride in all that they are. Performance artist Dan Kwong constantly struggles with two strong and often conflicting Asian heritages – Japanese and Chinese American. Chinese-Japanese-Chicana-Scots storyteller, actress and performance artist Brenda Wong Aoki uses her unique ethnic mix to intersect social circles.
