to all the grace lees

hat tip (h/t) to kimchi mamas:

from the grace lee project website: When Korean American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. Once she left the Midwest however, everyone she met seemed to know “another Grace Lee.” But why did they assume that all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers? The filmmaker plunges into a highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees who break the mold — from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school. With wit and charm, THE GRACE LEE PROJECT puts a hilarious spin on the eternal question, “What’s in a name?”

i love it.

    Interesting video. (I googled my full name once and it brought up a variety of individuals convicted for various crimes…)

    just your everyday queer disabled corean girl living in the south... i admit to being a disability culture nerd who loves making buttons, writing poetry, and exploring intersections between communities, particularly within a radical women of color feminist framework. and baking. my new love consists of pastries and pies.
