Life

She was born c. 2002[1] and raised in Puerto Rico.[2] Her parents immigrated from China and opened a restaurant.[2] Spanish was her primary language and she spoke Cantonese with her family and learned English in school.[2] She was the only Asian student at her Puerto Rican high school.[2]

In 2020, she started posting Spanish-language videos on TikTok.[2] She was inspired to speak out against the xenophobia and racism related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Her posts garnered additional views, in part, due to surprise by people of her Spanish fluency.[2] She began focusing her content on her identity as a person of Asian descent in Puerto Rico.[2][3] By August 2020, she had 52.7 thousand followers on TikTok.[3] This increased to 1.8 million by May 2022.[1]
