Thanks to editors Jeff Yang and Keith Chow, I had the fortunate opportunity to be a part of this anthology that is filled with stories inspired by George Takei's life involving different landscapes of cultural diversity, as well as being introduced to artist Yehudi Mercado . The production time was very fast-paced, but fortunately Yehudi and I were on the same page for the story we wanted to tell.
