MAR welcomes Jen Sookfong Lee to discuss the impact of representation (or lack thereof) on identity, dreaming beyond White narratives, and finding your voice as a racialized woman. In her book, Superfan: How Pop Culture Broke My Heart: A Memoir, Jen reflects on her experiences growing up as the child of Chinese immigrant parents in Vancouver’s East Side at a time when it was all too common to be and “only”.

Hear about the importance of weaving practices of representation into everyday life, empowering children to challenge harmful stereotypes, embracing diverse identities, cultivating a sense of belonging, and envisioning a more inclusive future.

Jen shares her excitement to discuss race, identity, and growing up, all essential topics at this moment when the voices of marginalized individuals and families are being pushed further into silence.
