CAPE NEW WRITERS AWARDAs you know, I spend a lot of time whining about the crappy state of Asian American representation in Hollywood. Sorry. But I also fully acknowledge that the only way we'll truly be able to tell our stories is if we create them ourselves, and that begins on the page. That's why initiatives like this are important. For more information, and to RSVP, go to the CAPE website here.
