Kim Had so many nuggets to share in this interview I love how she talked about unpacking how she had been colonized and how she values the importance of affinity spaces. We shared how representation in media and the arts can look and feel different to each person. And she shared how, as a mom, she now has a 360 perspective on the gift encouragement her father gave her. Finally, we learned so many tips and tricks of how the theater space works towards equity in this day and age.
