In August, the acting director of the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, Ken Cuccinelli, twisted the words of Emma Lazarus' Statue of Liberty poem, as commentary on the new regulation against legal immigration: "Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge." In response, artist @snakahiraart created a comic showing how the immigration clause relays back to the dark legacy of Angel Island's Immigration Station and it's effect in #AsianAmerican history. Read more about Nakahira's work and her comic on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
As SVP, Integrated Operations Director for Craft NY and Craft Health NJ, Lena Eng oversees work spanning digital, print and broadcast production. As an #Outstanding50 awardee, Eng was honored this year by the Asian American Business Development Center (AABDC) for her economic contributions within the advertising/marketing industry and joined a group of more than 800 recipients that have been honored since 2001. ""Be brave and be bold"" is advice for her younger self, but we reckon it's also great advice for us all. Learn more about Eng and more of this year's awardees in our AABDC feature at MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
The best part about pushing personal limits for Yvonne Choi, another #AsianAmerican Business Development Center #Outstanding50 honoree, is the feeling of accomplishment when hard work becomes reality. Choi, who serves as Chief Brand Officer for Red Lion Hotels Corporation, recalls a her fondest memory and favorite accomplishment as ""building an interior design team in Bangkok, then having to bring four of them to Santa Monica where we worked closely for eight months on our Cabo Resort Hotel."" For Choi, working on the project allowed her to learn some Thai and as a result of their hard work, she and her team won Best Boutique Design Award at BLLA a year later for the project. Check out Choi's #MochiMag feature along with more AABDC awardees at MochiMag.com.
"Despite what purity culture teaches, I for one do not think my self-worth should be tied to my virginity — or any part of my sexuality." Features Editor Emily Gao shares her journey reconciling her sexuality and faith, by recounting her experiences as an Asian American Christian in matters of identity, self-worth, and confidence. How can one be themselves when faced with the unrealistic standards of being a ""good Christian""? Does ""purity culture"" do good or do harm? Read more on what she has to say on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
In June, Sharda Cherwoo was one of the Asian American Business Development Center's #Outstanding50 honorees. As the Intelligent Automation Leader and Private Equity Senior Advisory Partner at Ernst & Young, Cherwoo had a full circle moment early in her career. ""I had the opportunity to build and be the architect of EY’s first offshore shared service center in India in 2001 – an initiative near and dear to my heart, being a U.S. immigrant from India. That opportunity gave me the platform to build a unique and innovative culture, to create new ways of working and global teaming to leverage talent,"" she says. ""Within two years of formation, EY was recognized on the Top 25 Great Places to Work in India – with about 60 percent of women in the organization in India."" Learn more about Cherwoo and several other awardees featured in our coverage of AABDC's gala on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag

The coveted "12 Step Skincare Routine" may be all the rage as of late, but before you pick up just any product, make sure you understand your skin type. Does your skin seem more oily and prone to breakouts? Does it lose moisture easily and have trouble staying hydrated?

Read more about your period care options on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
In @netflix's #WuAssassins, the show's different dynamics and characters help explore in-depth the varying perspectives of the #Asian and #AsianAmerican experience. “We get a lot of series that talk about people that are foreigners but not that of people that are born in America and are Asian,"" actor and star @lewistanofficial says. But while he agrees #AsianRepresentation is important, he also reminds us that as an actor, ""what we want to do is we want to entertain and perform."" Tan is proud of his Asian roots, but doesn't want that to define him and his work: ""I want to do all sorts of different roles. Some roles that have nothing to do with me being Asian."" Read his full feature with @mandarinmama on MochiMag.com, where he gets real about the dynamics of identity, his goals of directing, and how his martial arts background has influenced his acting roles. #MochiMag / 📷: Michael Blank
