let there be room for all of us.

so, i've had this on my mind a lot this week, and just lately as a whole-

obviously, we all know now zhou has been promoted into alfa romeo's seat, and i'm so incredibly happy but it's brought up tons of racism and just a lot of mixed feelings for me about the way pop media is so incredibly whitewashed.

as a hijabi southeast asian girl, representation is not something i've had a ton of. growing up, my friends have all inherently 'whitewashed' themselves because thats sorta just the standard that we've all been held to - the idea that we are only good if we are like the mat salleh (westerners).

when i got into f1 properly this year, i was drawn in because of tsunoda. no, we're not the same race nor do we look anything alike, but seeing just someone who's a little bit like me made my heart so incredibly full, even if somewhere in the back of my mind i know that things like representation in today's media often comes with a price tag attached.

then i found out about alex albon and his returning to f1 next year, and again that same feeling of "there is someone who is a little bit like me" returned, even if we are really not so much alike.

with zhou coming in as well, i truly cannot be happier for the amount of diversity we will finally be beginning to get - and i truly hope that this will further continue to grow in the future.

i come from a small country no one really know much about other than our political state, and for years i have been plagued with the thought that as long as i stay here i will have no opportunities to achieve my full potential, simply because there are no such routes into the bigger global market from here. every success story has come from an outsource, people having to leave home and pay grand sums of money just for their talent to be noticed.

as a person in this world who feels that i deserve to be seen - i'd like to push this idea into as many thoughts as possible: there needs to be space for all of us in all your communities. let us into your clubs and societies, your sports and your films and your television shows. we have more stories than you know, and i promise, we are worth so much more than the words you throw at us. and we can prove it.

I think the Presidential Flag of Estonia may be one of the most beautiful flags I have ever seen.
