The Chai

Growing up as the child of immigrants from Hong Kong in Vancouver significantly shaped my understanding of societal expectations. As a child, I rarely saw Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) individuals represented in media, toys, games, or even among the professionals in my community. Whenever I did encounter any form of representation, I clung to it dearly, unaware that it was a small glimpse of diversity in the predominantly Eurocentric world around me.
