Who is Making Asian American Pacific Islander History in 2021: The GMA Inspiration List

A huge shoutout to Stonestreeter Chris Naoki Lee for making Good Morning America's list of inspirational AAPI figures!

"This industry certainly tries to put you in a box, or tries to make you stay in your own lane, but just as I had learned to weave my career into what it is today, I see Chris making similar bold choices as well. Not only does he work as an actor, but he continues to adapt and evolve in the fields of writing, directing, and producing."

Well deserved!
