    It’s wonderful that we are having this dialogue in these times of COVID and Black Lives Matter! Children and Young Adults growing up in these times should be an audience where they get to realize that Asia and Asian arts have been there from before the west was discovered .. many people really are unaware of it !! Also I feel story telling .. helps a lot !
