Who is chris lam

Someone else can do it for us. He had to prove to his mom that he was serious about his new direction, that there was a future in media that included him. When I got the [BuzzFeed] internship, it was an amazing feeling because I could tell my mom I got a job offer to do exactly what I want to be doing.

The issue of representation has always been close to his heart. While other Asian YouTubers he admired planted the seed for his eventual plunge into media, mainstream recognition of intersectional identities was still lacking. Lam is trying to be the representation he wants to see in the world.

But that can be a tall order for a queer Asian who is pushing against the status quo. Has he ever hidden his queerness from his work? I try to be artful about it but I do try to remind people that this is my whole personhood as much as I can. Those values are evident in his videos. He hopes his YouTube channel can be a voice for underrepresented communities. Lam is also known for his three-year career at Buzzfeed.

The value of knowing when to take a break, drawing healthy boundaries, and valuing yourself are lessons Lam holds closely. Recently, Lam also finished creating a series with Gamma Ray where he recommends anime to people who are new to the genre. In the future, he hopes to work with more anime studios and fandom sites like the Nerdist.

At the heart of it all, she is an artist. Emily prides herself on being a creator of many mediums with a goal to heal, grow and decolonize. When not writing, she likes assembling playlists, eating ice cream and giving belly rubs to animals of all sizes. You can find Emily watering her houseplant Princess Mononoke or under her daring spoken word poetry moniker, Emdash.
