Confessions of a Boba Liberalist
Do we create our own identities or are our identities projected onto us?
Using anecdotes from her real life, come on a conversational journey of discovery with Nita as she learns what it means to belong in a predominantly white society. Is she Asian? Latina? Australian? All of the above? Who gets to decide?
Come into her world as she searches for a sense of belonging and connection with the audience. There’s bubble tea and snacks along the way, not just for Nita – she’ll share her food with everyone! From the school yard, to working in hospitality, to becoming a working artist – Confessions of a Boba Liberalist is a bid to prove she is in fact NOT a Boba Liberal and an answer (or not) to the dreaded question: “Where are you from?”.
