Confessions of a Boba Liberalist
Nita has some things she needs to get off her chest.
Using anecdotes from her own life experiences, come on a conversational journey through Nita's relationship with her own cultural identity. From the school yard at lunch time to having drinks with friends, she's often found herself navigating what it means to exist in a predominantly white society as a Person of Colour? Asian? Latina? Bi-Racial? Does it even matter what she thinks? Maybe it’s the way the world perceives her that shapes the way she perceives herself...
Bubble tea, K-pop, a few arguments with people over how to pronounce the names of cultural foods, and a bid to prove she is in fact NOT a Boba Liberal, "Confessions of a Boba Liberalist" is an answer (or not) to the dreaded question: 'Where are you from?'.
