Everything Within and In Between begins with a letter. It begins with a search for answers, with questions that you can never put to rest. But what it kicks off is a gripping and difficult journey to examine ourselves and our family. To take a look at the microaggressions we've been victim to while also examining our own actions and prejudices. That because Ri is white passing, her life is different than her classmates and her family. And while this has caused her to feel disconnected from her culture, it's equally important to look at why.
Ri's struggles with her identity, as well as how she has to realize that assimilation meant survival, is a coping mechanism in some ways, was so emotional. Everything Within and In Between is nuanced. It examines both the positives and consequences. The ones even we might not be aware of in our lives.
