I think also it challenges the stereotypes and expands their views of what’s possible.”

It’s “a symbol to all girls and boys alike in the Asian community,” Nathan Chan added.Nakase embraces what she feels is a responsibility and thinks about how to use her new platform to encourage more girls on a daily basis.
