Psyched to virtually present my documentary “The Last Mayor of Chinatown” today at my alma mater for @English_CMU Bridges & Borders conference on the theme of the archive. My subject Shirley Yee is retiring from CMU this year so it feels very full circle! eventbrite.com/e/bridges-and-…

I'm that mom at the Chuck E. Cheese Bday party, posted up in the corner explaining sex worker rights to someone’s dad because, honestly, I have no idea how to talk about mortgage rates or Paw Patrol. Pass me a slice of cardboard pizza and let's dismantle the patriarchy, Greg.
