Do not buy a gift card from @Target!!! I received one as a gift & only used half the card. Next time I tried using it, they told me it had 0 balance. I gave them all the requested info they wanted & told me they couldn’t fix it!!! Where did the money go? They are shady.

It's a wrap at #NCSS2023! You can watch FAR EAST DEEP SOUTH on @kanopy or @tubi if you didn't get to see if before the conference. We loved hearing how our film has broadened people's perspective on history & Asian Americans

[Larissa Lam @larissalam]

This is the Asian American history we never learned in school. Chinese in Mississippi during the Jim Crow era and the personal fallout from the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Asian American is American History! here's a quick 3-min crash course w/ a #Hamilton twist.
This history goes beyond #AAPIHeritageMonth

This Veterans Day, we remember Luck Wing, who passed away on 10/12/22. He served the US military from 1950-1954, leaving w/ rank of 2nd Lieutenant. He'd go on to serve 3-terms as mayor of Sledge, MS. We're grateful for his contribution to our film & will keep his memory alive
