Description:

Why does diverse media representation matter?

Join Chutisara, a Thai-German actress based in Germany, as we
take a trip down memory lane to explore her multicultural
upbringing, why she feels more drawn to American films and how
High School Musical unexpectedly shaped her journey toward
becoming an actress.

She also shares stories from her time living in Los Angeles and
Sydney—and reveals why she can’t eat Vegemite anymore
