I thoroughly enjoyed "What Am I, Chopped Suey?". It was heartfelt, funny, sad, inspiring and as an Asian American Female, very relatable. I feel there's a need for us to hear these stories so that we don't feel isolated and insecure. And if we start sharing these stories more, we can actually come together and have empathy and compassion for one another instead of competition and comparison.
