Carolyn Talks...About Asian American Representation & John Cho

As a way to engage with film and television industry creatives, we're introduced a new segment called "Carolyn Talks..."! In this segment, Carolyn will be interviewing and speaking with people who work in various areas of the industry, from critics to writers, producers, actors and directors (fingers crossed). During these chats, Carolyn and guests will discuss topics such as representation for people of color, the making of films, social media and many other things *whispers* and some thirsting may be involved.

In this episode, Carolyn speaks with author, sociologist, and producer Nancy Wang Yuen, and with film, TV critic, and pop-culture writer Laura Sirikul. Together they talk about Nancy's book Reel Inequality which focuses on racism and racial inequality in the film industry, Asian American representation in North American media, the summer of Asians and the thirst traps that are Steven Yuen and John Cho.
