Transcript
Get ready with me to go to the Gold House Gala with Lyft. Ever since I started my career in entertainment, I've always wanted to be invited to the Gold House Gala. And this year, I was finally invited to go. So I gathered my things, got into my Lyft, and headed over to my bad friend, David Suh's studio, where we shot some amazing photographs of our fits. And this is me running to catch my lift since we were running super late. As I was sitting in my comfy lift to the gala, I actually started getting a little nervous. But the second I arrived, I was greeted by so many kind people and just instantly felt welcomed. And for me, that's what Gold Worse is really all about, uplifting our community and creating space where we can all connect. They shine a light on AAPI talent, invest in our ideas, and help build real opportunity so people who look like us can feel proud of our heritage and keep moving forward. Overall, the event was a worst, and I had the best time watching everyone celebrate one another. Also, here's me cheesing with Karen Fukuhara, and now I can die happy. Thanks for the ride lift. Bye.
