“Dawn of a New Day” is a panel of Asian American women in film/TV/media that promotes social change with their work.

Her popularity increased after being staffed on the CBS/Berlanti/DuVernay series “Red Line.” Her 2017 feature film “Signature Move,” which she co-wrote, produced, and starred in, has won numerous major festival awards, including the Outfest Grand Jury Prize.
Tess Parasis an actress, writer, and comedian based in Los Angeles. She is featured on the Amazon Studios series “Just Add Magic” and on the CW’s “Crazy-Ex Girlfriend.” She is most recognized for her role on NBC’s hit drama “Grimm,” which introduced the first Filipino American storyline on prime-time television.
Kristina Wongis a performance artist, writer, and elected representative who has been presented internationally across North America, the U.K., Hong Kong, and Africa. She has been a guest on late-night shows on Comedy Central and FX, and an actor in various films and TV shows.

This is also the closing program for the exhibit “At First Light” at JANM, organized by VC and JANM to encapsulate the quest to present more authentic portrayals of Asian American communities. “At First Light” charts the development of an Asian American “movement” as captured by the images made by the founders and core staff members of VC. The panelists of “Dawn of a New Day” will show how this movement has evolved and continues to change the face of media.
