The Hapa Project: The book

A book of intimacy, affirmation, beauty, and powerful self-expression, Part Asian, 100% Hapa is the first book of its kind.  Filled with over 100 Hapa portraits and their individual handwritten response to the question, “What are you?” it is the book Fulbeck always wished he had growing up. An introduction to the rest of the world and an affirmation for Hapas themselves, it presents the individuals and their growing community to the world, a reality that will no longer be ignored.  It features a foreword by internationally known musician Sean Lennon and an afterword by race & ethnicity expert Paul Spickard.

I regret not making the open casting call that was in Los Angeles a few years ago but I am so excited and proud to see the final product. Hopefully, I will be able to catch Kip at one of his upcoming appearances here in Los Angeles so he can sign my copy of his book.
