Michelle Law writes Asian characters who aren’t just sidekicks

Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, Michelle Law was both very aware and a little resistant to her own Chinese-ness.

As an adult, she has embraced the cross-cultural narrative, putting her experiences into writing books, essays, plays and television series.

In this conversation with Jamila Rizvi, Michelle Law talks about her new book Asian Girls Are Going Places, how she’s trying to unlearn some of her workaholic tendencies, and why she’s a passionate advocate for diversity quotas in the arts and culture industry.
