_{“I have seen them stand their ground, stand up for themselves, and stand up for other people, amidst extreme hierarchies and challenging working environments. … it was beautiful and inspiring to see a young queer asian womxn outspokenly take stands amongst seas of silence. This sensitivity and courage creates the kind of artist that can bring depth and humanity to story and performance.”}
