00:04My culture brings me joy because it reminds me of my parents and the leaps
00:08and strides they took to come to America. How close-knit families are. We have
00:13about 200 relatives in the U.S. alone and my mom goes back to Pakistan every year.
00:19For Japanese people it's not really just about food. It goes so much farther
00:22beyond just eating together and it really has to do with like being
00:26radically nurturing and almost like aggressively nice and like saying
00:31goodbye for 40 minutes at every party. I love looking at Chinese clothing and I
00:37go home to Singapore I always look at my grandma's cheongsam from when she got
00:41married and it makes me so happy. No one does it like Asians when it comes to
00:45getting together and having a really good time. Look at the way we do food
00:49everything is about community and that brings me the most joy.
