	Please Give a Call to Yeye
Yeye (爷爷) means paternal grandfather in Mandarin and my Yeye was extremely involved in raising my brothers and I. However, now that we have all grown up and moved away from home, I wanted to explore what intergenerational relationships, and more specifically, what our relationship looks like in this day and age.&#38;nbsp;
This is a project I hold near and dear to my heart, as it captures a time where my brothers and I lived far from home, in different places. We are each navigating our own lives, with school and work, while also trying our best to keep in contact with Yeye. I hope it inspires viewers to laugh, cry, and most of all, call home!

p5.js 2021 Showcase: The Love Ethic
I first came across the p5.js 2020 Showcase in my creative coding class during the spring 2021 semester. I remember feeling incredibly inspired and blown away by the diverse projects made by the international community that uses p5.js. When applications for GSoC 2021 came around, I knew I wanted to work on the continued development of the Showcase.

	Thematic Approach: The Love Ethic
	The design and organization of the Showcase were already very robust, but I felt that the third iteration of it had the opportunity to be curated by a theme. When thinking about themes, I looked at the values of the Processing Foundation and the p5.js community. It got me thinking about accessibility, inclusion, and projects that push the perceptions of how p5.js can be used. These values reminded me of a book I read by bell hooks called All About Love, where she outlines the idea of the “love ethic,” which proposes putting all dimensions of love into our everyday lives. I thought this translated nicely into a theme that aligned well with the values of p5.js.With that in mind, I looked for projects that demonstrated the love ethic, specifically projects that were social-justice oriented and contributions from our BIPOC community. The Open Call lasted around a month and a half, and during that time I reached out to different institutions and artists for projects
 to showcase.

	The Development Process
	Updating the Archive PageI started by updating the 2019 page to an Archive, as there were now two Showcases to archive. This would be the tab archiving all previous Showcases along with their curators. This was a pretty simple task that allowed me to get to know the structure of the code better, and could lead to an easy way of adding new Showcases year after year.Difficulty FilterOne of my main proposals was to add a Difficulty Filter to the Gallery page so that projects could be filtered by their level: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. This was one of the biggest obstacles during the summer, as I was not able to find how the 2020 projects were tagged by type, and I had little experience with React.js and Javascript together. When troubleshooting with my mentors, they were unable to figure out the logic either so we reached out to the Processing Foundation for more support. I was able to connect with Jiwon Shin, a 2019 GSoC student and 2021 GSoC mentor, who had expertise in React.js and Javascript. After meeting with her once, I was able to figure out the ternary operator that was filtering the tags and add another React.js component to the page that dealt with the difficulty tag.Social IconsI worked on adding social media icons to the individual project pages for each artist rather than the word “Social Media.” This was to make it clearer for the user what kind of page they were being directed to rather than having no indication at all.

	Looking ahead
	The showcase still needs translations to be added by community members! (Spanish, Korean, and Chinese). The translation structure (i18next) has been implemented and contributors can help with translations!Another aspect we needed to consider about the Showcase was where it would live and be maintained. In 2019, the Showcase was integrated with the p5.js site, but in 2020 during the overhaul of the showcase site, it lived on the GitHub of the the last GSoC student to work on it, Connie Liu. This year, it lives in my repo as a fork from Connie, but we are now in the process of transferring the repo to the Processing Foundation Github for future Showcase curators.

Asian American: Tackling the Monolith Inspired by the Instagram post created by @syeda.c regarding class disparity among Asian Americans, I created an interactive web activity that highlights the importance of disaggregated data in the census. I used data from Asian Americans Advancing Justice's 2010 census report called "Communities of Contrast" and took four of the socio-economic indicators that represented overall wealth to be used in the activity.The player must rank the different sub-APA groups according to what they believe is correct based on the socio-economic indicator and then compare their answer with the actual ranking.More reading on the topic:https://www.vox.com/identities/22380197/asian-american-pacific-islander-aapi-heritage-anti-asian-hate-attackshttps://aapidata.com/https://www.vox.com/identities/22530103/asians-americans-wealth-income-gap-crazy-rich-model-minority

	Generation She Virtual Make-A-Thon AR FiltersGeneration She is a 501(c)(3) organization that aims to close the gender gap in the leadership landscape by instilling young women with a sense of ownership and entrepreneurial spirit.Due to COVID-19, we pivoted our 2020 makeathon to be a virtual event. I designed and created two event-themed Instagram AR filters in Spark AR that could be used by attendees to build hype and increase engagement. So far they have amassed +50k impressions and +3k captures on Instagram.

OK - Wallows with Remi Wolf &#38;amp; Solomonophonic Lyric VideoI created a kinetic typography or lyric video for one of my favorite songs: OK by Wallows. I worked in AfterEffects with a constrained color palette and different fonts/typefaces inspired by the album cover.
