Actually, only really recently have I, I think, given myself the space to understand that fully.

Definitely from reading your work, but also just with the recent resurgence in the violence against Asian people and especially Asian women, it's very interesting to deal with that latency period between something that happened to you, which of course still continues, but then realizing that that has stuck with you for such a long time without you really dealing with it or even giving yourself the grace to process it.

And just in the lens of Asian American artists too, I just would not be able to live with myself if I didn't say the work that you and also just the new resurgence. And you mentioned Mitski, which is so ridiculous that you mentioned Mitski. That's so crazy. I just love her. Japanese Breakfast, Sasami, all these new artists that are coming in and being so inconceivable with their art.

It's just really working and I can only really speak to my circle, but all of my Asian American friends and even beyond that, we feel very seen by all these people being not universal, but incredibly specific with their stories.
