At Mixed Roots Stories we strive to support any effort to share stories of the Mixed experience. 2 Girls | 1 Asian is a comedic webseries co-created, produced, and starring Kelly Colburn and Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin. They created the series, because, as Kelly and Kaela stated, “we don’t often see ourselves reflected in the entertainment we’re offered.”
About the Webseries “It follows Caela and Kelliye through breakups, career struggles, apartment troubles, and even strains in their friendship, yet at its core it’s the story of two girls who value each other more than they value one another’s mistakes. Our perspective on race in America gives us a unique lens for the “single girl in the big city” tale, so our episodes intentionally push back on the Asian American stereotypes we’re tired of seeing while passing the Bechdel test. We launched our independent, fully crowd-funded production online on June 5, 2014, and release an episode each Thursday at 9pm through mid-July.”
