Haynes Boone Partner Albert Tan will moderate a Sept. 9 webcast featuring Charles Yu, author of several award-winning books and TV shows, as he discusses his experiences being Asian in America, including sharing his journey after 13 years in corporate law to become a screenwriter and novelist, defying stereotypes and expectations; and what shaped his personal journey, the challenges he overcame along the way, and his dreams for reframing the way Asian Americans are perceived and understood in media and entertainment.
