“It’s a time to champion and uplift people of ESEA heritage. It’s a time we can inspire others with our stories and to show that we are multifaceted.” - Sabrina Pui Yee Chin 🇲🇾

“I feel proud of Totoro every single day! It's an incredible blend of both Eastern and Western forms. I love that audiences from everywhere connect to the heart of the story, and how its specificity in storytelling makes it universal appealing.” - Victoria Chen 🇸🇬
“BESEA Heritage Month celebrates our lineage—honouring those before us, showing we have always been here in the community, and opening the path for those yet to come.” - Heather Lai 🇭🇰🇬🇧
