HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🌈 Let's kick off the month with a special message from Manila Luzon.
"As a person who gets to go on a reality television show and just be themselves, especially as a queer person... I hope that it inspires other Asian Americans, queer people to be themselves and to be proud of who they are."
“I want to be the best representation I can be across the board so when little girls and boys look at the screen they can say ‘Oh, she has the same nose as me. Maybe I can be the lead in a feature film too.’”

Meeting place
I didn’t expect this would come to me
When I prayed to God
I ran out of reasons why
Why did he leave without a word
Why didn’t he fight even a little
Why can’t we correct destiny
And then I saw you at God’s meeting place
With a sparkle in your eye, that’s inexplicable
I looked back where I tried to leave
And the world stopped
When you point at me
You are my answered prayer
And it can’t be explained
What happened to me
The stars are the witness to your prayer
How did you have the answers to all my questions
Can’t believe what happened
How did you rearrange our destiny?
When I saw you at God’s meeting place
With a sparkle in your eye, that I can’t explain
I looked back where I tried to leave and the world stopped
When you pointed at me
And you didn’t leave me
When I was giving up
And the world changed
When you fought for me
And the world stopped
When you pointed at me
You are the answer to me prayer

Kimiko Glenn from OITNB on representation
“Representation is so important because it shapes the way we view ourselves as a human.”
Kimiko Glenn from Orange Is the New Black discusses the importance of representation on screen.
“I as a kid would only see Asian people on screen playing a very small role... a supporting at best. I would subconsciously tell myself I would never be, I could never be the lead of my own life.”
"It's beautiful to be bilingual. I hope that you guys can feel the same way. I don't know if you're struggling with the same things but, I'm here to tell you, hold on to your language. Hold on to your culture." - Yoshi Sudarso, #UnapologeticallyAsian
