Food Babies
Culture is a defining part of who we are as a country, as people, and as individuals. Growing up as a part of two cultures -one I inherited and the other I acquired- has shaped how I see and experience the world. My history and heritage have defined how I create and tell my story. Through the “Food Babies” series, I bring together my Southern Chinese heritage and my Southern American culture to tell a story that resonates with the ideals of a melted pot America.
