The Female Breakout Star award of 2015 at Kore’s Unforgettable Gala went to “Fresh Off the Boat” star Constance Wu.
“Regardless of the way we’re all dealing with the barriers in our own life, I think the most important I’ve learned in the past year is that getting through any type of barrier is hard, and people are going to stumble and there’s no one right way to do it,” Wu said. “So when your fellow Asian American stumbles in his or her attempt to break through, even if he doesn’t do it in the way you like, I think it’s important that we are gentle and supportive with each other during these stumbles.”
“If enough of us get through those barriers in whatever way is we feel our ways, eventually the barrier disappears,” she said.
