How do we construct our cultural identity? What does it mean to celebrate it? How does having a mixed ethnic identity contribute to our understanding of being Asian American? Ray and Michelle chat with Chandra Crane, author of Mixed Blessing, about cultural inheritance, multiethnicity, and reclaiming an Asian identity.
