“The challenge comes when one person tries to represent an entire culture. It's empowering that I can bring more people who have a variety of cultural experiences to the table. Then can we show our culture in a truthful, respectful and authentic way.” -@niki_lopez #NMS20VIRTUAL pic.twitter.com/Mw0eOjcXHV
