(1888 PressRelease) Autobiographer celebrates diversity in her firsthand account of the immigrant experience.DALLAS – Dr. Chiufang Hwang and her family immigrated to the United States from Taiwan when she was a toddler, where she grew up as the only Asian kid on her block in the largely black and segregated city of Columbia, South Carolina.
Despite being isolated by her racial dissimilarity and shy nature, Dr. Hwang was eager to be a part of her adopted community.
Thanks to an uninhibited young girl named Janine, Dr. Hwang discovered what it meant to be American, an experience she details in her revealing new memoir, Finding Janine.
But as the token Asian in the black community, she was a minority among minorities.
Deemed an outsider, Dr. Hwang had to settle for any children willing to let her into their circles.
Janine was Dr. Hwang’s protector and mentor, teaching her how (and when) to have an attitude, how to talk, how to dance, how to have swagger and more, until Janine finally exclaimed that everything about Dr. Hwang was black “except for your skin color.” During this pivotal period of development, Janine was instrumental in expanding Dr. Hwang’s worldview and inspiring the confidence, curiosity and optimism that led her to pursue a successful career in medicine.
