Kristina Wong: The Wong Street Journal

Kristina Wong’s self-skewering new masterpiece relates how a not-so-white-savior becomes a hip hop legend in Northern Uganda. A solo performer, writer, actor, educator, filmmaker and “culture jammer,” she was named “One of the Seven Funniest Eco-Comedians” by Mother Nature Network. Her most notable touring show – Wong Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest – looked at the high rates of depression and suicide among Asian American women, toured to more than 40 venues and was made into a film. She has also performed on General Hospital, Nickelodeon's Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn and dozens of independent films. She’s been a commentator for American Public Media’s Marketplace, PBS, CNN, Jezebel, xoJane, Playgirl Magazine, a guest on FXX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, Al Jazeera’s The Stream and Huffington Post Live.
