What Tessanne Chin teaches us about diversity

Nice story about the Chinese-Jamaican diaspora in Canada and the richness of identities:

The Chinese diaspora isn’t limited to Jamaica, of course. My cousins come from Trinidad and Dutch Guyana. And anyone who has eaten at a Hakka Indian restaurant in Toronto knows there is a thriving Chinese community in India.

The bottom line is that diversity is a complex, beautiful thing, and you could do worse to have an ambassador like Chin who shrinks cultural boundaries just by opening her mouth.

“My mom always said if you have a gift it is absolutely not about you. So I don’t get twisted and think for one second it’s all about me,” said Chin, nursing a drink in Chang’s expansive kitchen.
