From the person who brought you "An ASIAN AMERICAN FILM THING!"
"SHOES OFF, MOUTH OFF" is a STORYTELLING SHOW WITH ALL AAPI
STORYTELLERS!
This is the show where ASIANS AND ASIAN-AMERICANS HAVE VOICES AND
ADDRESS ISSUES THEY FACE ALL THE TIME. The storytellers will crush
stereotypes and talk about subjects that are not usually associated
with their community ie: mental health, sexuality, politics, etc. This
is also a safe place where if a storyteller do associates with the
"stereotype," it's okay! I AM QUIET AND SHY AND CAN'T DRIVE BUT I ALSO
HATE SCHOOL AND GO TO THERAPY!
