Today marks the one year anniversary of @CrazyRichAsians making it to the big screen ✨ The last time a movie was produced with an all-Asian cast was the debut of the #JoyLuckClub, 25 years prior. While the film was successful and resonated with audiences, #asianrepresentation still remained bleak. Now, with the raving popularity of #CrazyRichAsians, producers can no longer ignore the importance of representation and the voices of #AsianAmericans. With following acts such as #AlwaysBeMyMaybe and @TheFarewell, we've seen signs that the industry is slowly beginning to understand that diversity is good not only for business, but more importantly, for the community. We still have a lot of work to do, but it's an exciting time for the Asian American community to finally experience what representation looks like!
With 1,287 published articles, #MochiMag strives to amplify Asian voices in every way. From beauty to politics, there’s something for everybody. Help us continue creating high quality content for the community by contributing to our @kofi_button campaign via the link in our bio! 📣#KofiWithMochi
Last month, the Dallas Chinese Community Center held its first “InspirAsian” event, bringing together Asian creatives to the area for workshops and talks by many prominent #AsianAmerican media icons including @wongfupro, @stevenkwlim, @simuliu, @ludilin, and @ingatylam. Throughout the afternoon, the speakers talked about media representation and pursuing passions in the creative industry, with some touching on their unconventional paths. The guests urged the audience to celebrate and support the community coming together, with the hope that the event would open the door for many more of its kind in the future. Read the speakers' advice in the full event recap on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag / 📷: Huy Nguyen

In this edition of #DearMochi, we navigate the ever-tricky relationship with in-laws. An Asian American daughter-in-law seeks advice on how to be respectful but still stand her ground with her Chinese father-in-law and his disagreeable views on women and parenting. While this issue is common among #AsianAmericans struggling to relate to their older generation counterparts, no one is immune to the possible issues and misunderstandings with their in-laws. We brought in two Aunties to give some advice to our fellow Mochi reader. Read the wisdom they had to offer by visiting MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
Award-winning filmmaker @gurinder.chadha calls her latest project @blindedbythelightfilm, out August 16, a ""spiritual companion to 'Bend It Like Beckham.'"" Born out of Chadha's wish to creatively combat the renewed racism and xenophobia churned by Brexit, the film centers on a British Pakistani teen named Javed, who comes of age amidst the racial tension, economic downturn, and political turmoil of 1987 Britain. In her review, @michelleyangwriter describes the film as ""gratifyingly surpising and not at all preditable"" and ""for anyone who has ever wanted to dream."

Healthy work environments for #AsianAmericans are often hindered by the "bamboo ceiling," a set of barriers that prevent them from fulfilling their potential for creativity and productivity. Guest writer Emily Mun touches more on the bamboo ceiling along with the model minority myth, and shares how the community can better enact practices that support a more diverse workforce.
