Why Michelle Yeoh’s success means so much to many

Greetings,

I hope you are well. Growing up, my mother and I loved to watch the Academy Awards. Hollywood seemed like a magical place. Yet like many children of immigrants, I was discouraged (actually forbidden) to pursue a writing career.

Here is my TodayShow.com essay on why Michelle Yeoh’s success is so meaningful to many.

Happy Oscar-watching!

Warmly,

Yvonne Liu

My birth mother left me on a stairwell in Hong Kong. Someone took me to the Pearl S. Buck orphanage where I lived for 15 months before a Chinese-American couple adopted me. So much of my life was mired in shame and secrets foisted on me by my traditional Chinese parents. It's time to share my truth and throw off the shackles of shame through essays, personal reported pieces and the memoir I'm writing. IG and Twitter @yvonneliuwriter.
