Model Minorities
Kate’s model minority is actor Karen Fukuhara. We know her from her Disney correspondent days, that one time she was Katana in Suicide Squad, and now we’re watching her in the new Amazon Prime original series The Boys.

Yoko’s model minorities are Cassandra Lam and Karen Mok, founders of The Cosmos, a community for Asian women and non-binary creators. We love that they’re constantly evaluating and reassessing what these labels mean. Check them out @jointhecosmos!
