Chan credits the Asian community in media, fashion and beyond with helping her to reconnect with her roots: “One of the nicest things about getting older has been reconnecting and feeling like I can embrace and celebrate the Asian side of my heritage,” she says. “I’ve met so many incredible people, so many more Asians than I knew when I was growing up, in my line of work.”

Noting the significance she feels in having embarked on a career in storytelling and the arts, she says that it “ensures that we have our stories told and ensures that we have a place in popular culture and consciousnesses… With the absence of that, stereotypes and prejudices grow and it’s incredibly important that we… [as] any group that has been excluded or marginalized before, get to define our own narratives.”
