Dear Fellow Grace Lee's,

I have set out on the journey of my name 'Grace Lee' and there are many more of us out there. My question was considering the stereotypes of Asian-American women, particularly those named Grace Lee, however, I learned much more than I was bargaining for. We are almost all first generation Asian Americans, we represented the American dream for our parents. They wanted us to become what America means. They wanted us to become Grace Kelly. We have all failed our parents. Is your loyalty to your parents strong enough to accept this failure?

-Grace Lee
