Being Asian

Season 8 Episode 18

We carry our histories, hopes, and humor into the search for belonging. When life falls apart, Annie learns that being the rock doesn’t mean carrying everything alone; Tae’s trumpet dreams collide with the budget, teaching him that love sometimes sounds like compromise; and Shweta confronts beauty standards, reclaiming her reflection. Three storytellers, three interpretations of Being Asian.

Aired: 05/11/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD Channel and GBH. In partnership with Tell&Act.
