“This is my first cabbage! You know, a lot of times they’re kind of soft, but this one is solid! It’s going to be good eatin’!“ “What are you going to make with it?” “Well, this one I’m giving to my parents. You have to give the first one away or you just spoil the whole spirit of gardening.”

NBC Asian America asked celebrities and industry leaders to nominate individuals for our inaugural list, and Phillipa Soo was nominated by celebrity fashion designer Prabal Gurung: “Phillipa is a tremendous stage talent, and was a brilliant trailblazer in ‘Hamilton.’”

How do you introduce yourself?

I’m Phillipa Soo, I’m an actor and I love food.

What inspires you?

I’m inspired by people and their stories…by nature, music…by my loved ones.

What challenges you?

I have a horrible habit of being too hard on myself. I always try to remind myself to let go of my anxiety. Am I doing this right? Am I doing my best? Life isn’t perfect, any failures you have are actually learning moments. They teach us how to grow and evolve.

Tell us about the biggest risk you ever took.

I came to New York City at the age of 18 with two suitcases. At the time I didn’t think of it as a risk, but now that I look back on that moment I’m so amazed at my ability to adapt to the chaos of NYC. I loved it.

What are you reading/watching/listening to these days?

Watching “Big Little Lies” on HBO, reading “The Morning Breaks: The Trial of Angela Davis” by Bettina Aptheker, listening to S-Town podcast.

If you weren’t doing what you’re doing now, what job would you want to have?

I would like to open a restaurant.

What’s your motto?

Follow your bliss.

I celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month because…

…I am proud to be a mixed race woman, and I am proud to honor and celebrate my Chinese heritage.

I don’t know if you can feel God’s presence in your life right now or not, beloved. But please know that, regardless of your feelings, He’s there. He’s with you. And He’s not going anywhere.

three yikes you’re out

hi! being an adult and doing things that require that can suck my toe! i’m crying about my taxes for the third year in a row!

#that's every year since i started doing my taxes :)

YES.

I once saw someone point out something I hadn’t really considered before- libraries are one of the only places that are warm and dry where you can stay for long periods of time if you have no money. If you’re someone with nowhere to go during the daytime, they provide a safe environment in which to keep a roof over your head for a while- and all while you can access information.

So yes. This.

edwardspoonhands

It’s weird…libraries almost feel /wrong/ now. It’s like I walk in and think “This is great…where do I put my money?”

I used to work on a campus library and if you want someplace to put your money, so to speak, make sure you put books back in the designated areas. I know you think you’re being helpful by reshelving, but even if you pull something out to read a couple paragraphs just stick it in the basket for things you didn’t want. I don’t care if you know EXACTLY where you are. In academic libraries (at least in Texas) our funding was determined by how many books people looked at. So we got additional funding based on books not being reshelved. If there’s a designated shelf/basket for things you don’t want, stick things in it!

What @standbyyourmantis said about not reshelving is true for public libraries, too. Our funding is dictated largely by how ‘used’ we are, so we scan all the items that are laying about as In House Use. That, tied with Reference Count and Door Counter numbers (we have to manually put in the time we take for references) to prove we’re providing a needed service. We also have to count the number of people who come for our programs, which not only helps funding but shows that the programming/services are needed, as well. So, basically, if you want to feel like you’re making sure we’re getting paid and staying around, keep these in mind.

I didn’t know that’s why you’re not supposed to reshelf!

My boss, who is a grown woman with children my age, just whispered, “Oh, this is going to be so fucking efficient,” before spraying Febreze directly into the ceiling fan and proceeding to cough her guts out when it blew back in her face.
