#ConsciousDesign #ConsciousStyleGuide

The Hollywood Reporter interviewed me in 2019 for its first-ever "Agents of Change" piece on diversity and inclusion. During the call, I referred them to my friend and adviser #HenryFuhrmann, aka the #HyphenKiller for his "Drop the Hyphen in 'Asian American'" article for #ConsciousStyleGuide. We eagerly awaited publication, but nothing came of the interviews. Or so we thought.

Today, I found a PDF of the article. I wish Henry was here so I could tell him. Miss you, Henry.
