I recently traveled to NYC to participate in a panel discussion about Art & Immigrant Rights organized by the Opportunity Agenda. One of my favorite bloggers, Will Coley, interviewed me before the panel and put together a cool video about the event. I talk about what it meant for me to be a daughter of immigrants and make art about my family’s struggle. Check it out!

Some of the other folks on the panel were amazing, particularly Mira Nair, Director of Monsoon Wedding and Kamasutra (two rad movies!) And Martín Perna, Founder of Antibalas and Ocote Soul Sounds.
