How seeing negative stereotypes of Asian Americans can affect mental health

Mabelen Bonifacio, Student Filmmaker:

So, basically, the whole "Nothing Less" video was kind of based off of a different video that I also made.

Basically, the whole thing between the both of them was me trying to tell my own narrative. And so I found, like, film competitions that prompted me and allowed me to tell that story that I wanted to tell.

Every movement has had its shine. But the one that's been closest to me has been the fight for respect by the Asian American and Pacific islander community.

Growing up in a predominantly white and Hispanic Latino community didn't give me a lot of opportunities to connect with my own culture.
