Being Asian

Stories have the power to astonish us, make us laugh and cry, and open our hearts to the world. Hosted by Wes Hazard and Theresa Okokon, STORIES FROM THE STAGE invites storytellers from around the world to share extraordinary tales of what it means to be human. Each episode features both on-stage performances and interviews about their inspirations and craft, and the meaning behind their stories.

Being Asian

Stories from the Stage: Season 8 Episode 18 | 26m 14s | CC

We carry our histories, hopes, and humor into the search for belonging. When life falls apart, Annie learns that being the rock doesn’t mean carrying everything alone; Tae’s trumpet dreams collide with the budget, teaching him that love sometimes sounds like compromise; and Shweta confronts beauty standards, reclaiming her reflection. Three storytellers, three interpretations of Being Asian.
