This mini stack to wish you not only a very Happy 4th of July! BUT to also encourage you to go listen to my episode of Proof, an America’s Test Kitchen podcast!
Like most things in my life, it started with a cold email to the people over at Proof, an America’s Test Kitchen podcast.
I pitched a story about the other side of my 50 pies, 50 states project. Behind all the smiles and all the pie, the road to permanent residency wasn’t a smooth or easy one. It was a lot of worry, fear and anxiety during extremely uncertain times.
Revisiting that time, while at another crossroads now deciding on whether to naturalize, the episode wrestles with what home means...through pie!
This 4th of July while you’re traveling to hot dogs, fireworks and friendship I hope you give it a listen!
Special thanks to my producer and now friend Yumi Araki, to my Dad Stephen Fong, sisters Stasia Fong and Seraphina Fong and my friends Lauren Rinaldi, Adam Porter, Megan Balch, Jaime Barker, Danielle Lamotte, Rebecca Schneider and Eric Zimmer for letting me interview you! I apologize that it resulted in everyone crying at some point! and the biggest thank you to America’s Test Kitchen for giving me the opportunity to tell my story!
Happy 4th to all who celebrate!
Honorable mentions to Dolly Parton, the Savannah College of Art and Design and Publix!
