why representation matters 📸: @thisisge . . . . #blasian #mixed #multicultural #multiculturalism #representation #diversity #dei

representation allows us to see ourselves for who we always knew ourselves to be all along and not the stereotypes shoved down our throats. also don’t for a second allow the credit to be given to anybody but ourselves, the door wasn’t opened for us, we kicked it down [last slide energy], we made the change we are seeing and enjoying. this shoot was the first time ever that i was on a set where the entire cast and crew were POC. most of my career I’ve been the only one. misunderstood, misdirected, misguided to act untrue to my nature because I thought it was what I had to do in order to fit in, in order to be successful, there was no alternative in sight because there was no one that looked like me in sight. but this was different - to feel myself reflected back, to be able to speak freely and be understood, it was a profound experience and I couldn’t stop taking pause to bask in it. times are changing. our spirits have claimed our rightful pasture to finally run free. the art will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. . . 🔹Agency: @aworthicompany 🔹Brand: @bumble 🔹Photographer/Director: @angellachoe 🔹Talent: @pinkmantaray , @p.s.kaguya , @brindanotbrenda , @ryanalexh , @geezelouiseeeee  & @stanchan17 🔹Interviewer: @madelynchung 🔹Stylist: @lynnkimdo 🔹Make Up: @sorayunmakeup 🔹Hair: @yumabastet 🧢 @mylestw @luv.sade . #aapiheritagemonth #asianheritagemonth #aapi #representationmatters #seeMeAsIam #beyourself #loveyourself #blasian
