In my TEDX talk "How I questioned my identity with a fortune cookie?", I shared my personal view on how something as simple as reflecting on our memories of food and family stories, can help us navigate societal displacement and find who we are. I told the story of my first encounter with a fortune cookie in a Chinese restaurant in America, and how that led to a journey of self-reflection on my roots and identity.
