In this episode, I speak with Ellis Chung, an incoming freshman at Harvard University, and a filmmaker and activist using storytelling, advocacy, and leadership to create space for girls and the AAPI community. From tackling hate crime legislation and women's political representation in her films to leading initiatives like Girls Who Start and her school's Korea Club, Ellis shares the privilege and responsibility that comes with being taken seriously at a young age.
We explore why media is such a powerful tool for change, and how being an Asian American girl means both challenging stereotypes and uplifting voices. Ellis opens up about the behind-the-scenes moments that keep her grounded, and her message to every girl who dreams of leading but doesn’t know where to start.
