"The first vivid memory I have of someone who looked like me was Wendy from the Disney Channel movie, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. I was shocked to see an Asian cast for an Asian-American plot. Although I am not a Chinese immigrant, I felt a connection between me and Wendy because of her difficulties blending two different cultures in a very American community and setting. The mix of languages - weaving in and out of her native tongue and English - was something I related to. The heavy emphasis of cultural survival and pride was something that hit home."
