In this episode, we’re joined by Ryan Alexander Holmes, actor, athlete, and activist, who gets real about what it means to be 100% Chinese, 100% Black, and fully himself in an industry that often tries to simplify identity.
We talk about his upbringing with a Chinese mother and Black father, navigating Hollywood as a biracial actor, and how he’s using his platform to shift culture and build community. He also shares what he’s diving into for his upcoming doctorate at UCLA (every Asian parent’s dream), and surprises us with a totally unexpected twist on the classic PB&J that no guest has done before.
It’s one of our most raw, inspiring, and deep conversations we’ve had on the podcast.
