Ending AAPI Month with LEGEND George Takei and I’m literally speechless!! 😭✨🔥
Today at East Los Angeles Library 📚 (aka Hikaru Sulu from Star Trek!) shared his incredible story from the internment camp. He’s so well-spoken, funny, and powerful. His message? We are stronger together & diversity is our strength
The line was CRAZY long but he’s 1000% worth the wait. When he got to my book, he SPOTTED my Star Trek dress and called it “GALACTIC” 👩🏽‍🚀💫 I literally screamed inside. He really loved it!! OH MY! 😭💕
Thank you and the 200 library systems across California, Oregon and Washington for prioritizing a discussion on injustice, resilience, and civic duty. If you haven’t done so already be sure to vote by June 2nd for the California Primary Election!

Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with so much energy and joy 🌸✨
Every May we honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders in the U.S.—a celebration that started as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week in 1978 and grew into a full month‑long observance in 1992. This moment is rooted in decades of advocacy, resilience, and pride, and it feels powerful to be adding a new creative chapter to it.
This year I hosted the first-ever AAPI cosplay meetup at Wondercon and we had an amazing turnout! So many creatives came together to share their stories, showcase their costumes, and bring their diverse backgrounds into the con space. Seeing everyone connect, collaborate, and celebrate as a community was exactly what this is about.
I’m hoping this is just the beginning and that more AAPI‑identifying cosplayers and artists will join us as this grows. The video highlights cosplayers from a wide range of AAPI backgrounds, each infusing the frame with their unique culture, style, and spirit. We’re not just fans—we’re a creative family, a celebration of diversity in every stitch and every pose.
What’s one AAPI character who has inspired your cosplay journey or made you feel seen? 💫 Tell me in the comments!
