Keahu Kahuanui Instagram – Representation matters – a statement so simple, logical and necessary, it’s still surprising to me how long it took me to fully realize its importance. It wasn’t until I began working on #MTVTeenWolf did I really understand how positive and deeply impactful having diverse representation can be on every facet of our lives. It was heartwarming to hear from so many others who saw parts of themselves on screen but beyond media, understanding our cultural, racial and social differences teaches us so much.
As we celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth, please take some time to learn about my and other #AAPI stories but share your own too! We’re not all the same. We’re not all raised the same. We don’t have all the same needs and even if stereotypes of some cultures often bode true, they don’t always. Whatsmore is that newer generations are slowly changing them every day that passes anyway.
With diversity in America and in the world growing, we have a responsibility to include an accurate picture of our evolving background, not just in media but also in our studies, especially when it comes to health, medicine and science. How? Check out the @allofusresearch campaign – one of the best ways to help our studies of US is by helping to represent ALL OF US. Be a part of it. (See link in bio).
And while Danny Mahealani may not be making a comeback anytime soon, the impressions so many of you have said he made on you is not forgotten or lost on me. I’m glad I could represent. Now it’s your turn! #dudeitsbeaconhills #JoinAllofUs #ad Beacon Hills | Posted on 26/May/2022 21:55:36
