My Take
Adele Lim writes the kind of stories that change what audiences believe is possible. Co-writing Crazy Rich Asians, the first modern Hollywood studio film with a majority Asian cast in decades, and then Raya and the Last Dragon, was not just clever screenwriting; it was an argument for visibility made in narrative form. What I respect most is the nerve it takes to put a previously unseen world on the biggest screens and simply say, we're here. Being named among Asia's most influential figures twice feels well earned. I'm quietly, eagerly waiting to see what she writes next.
