This episode, meet the amazing creative: Hnin (Montagnard Dega)!

Hnin shares growing up on the Westside of Charlotte, how she eased her Asian parents into accepting her passion for the arts and what it means to be an artist who creates emotion-evoking think pieces.

This also continues our series on the #ComplexitiesofComplexion where we explore colorism and beauty standards in East Asia and the Southeast Asian community.
