Yvonne Chow  @yvonnehchow is a 1st generation Chinese American from the Bay Area, CA and currently resides and works in NYC. She is the Director of Operations, Education Director, Curator of Works, and Principal Dancer of H+ Hip Hop Dance Conservatory. Yvonne founded House of Chow®, to honor her family lineage through providing purposeful guidance, mentorship, and leadership to the next generation of Asian (Americans) in Hip-Hop Dance at H+ and beyond. We talk about how Yvonne discovered her passion for hip hop at a young age, and how she learned to respectfully enter and honor a Black art form as an Asian person. She also talks about the role of advocacy in her work in teaching and preserving hip hop dance, what it's like to be an Asian woman in a position of power, and the importance of opening up the dialogue with those who are closest to us.
