“In honor of Asian Heritage month, I'm thrilled to celebrate my childhood hero, Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon, Tony Award winning voice of Mulan & Jasmine, Joy Luck Club), in a virtual fireside chat on June 3. Lea was one of the only API females in Hollywood as I was growing up and I sang every word of her songs. She's now engaged in humanitarian efforts in Asia.” - Abigail Hing Wen, Harvard College ’99
