Bridgerton Season 4 First Look
–Lady Bridgert
Finally, we have a main East Asian character in Netflix's *Bridgerton*! It took four seasons to reach this point, but at least the show is making an effort. I find *Bridgerton* entertaining, but it has been somewhat frustrating to see East Asians with limited or non-speaking roles despite the diverse cast. The reality is that the period in which *Bridgerton* is set predominantly consisted of white English people—England during 1795 to 1837, primarily among the upper class. So far, the best season has been Season 2, which had a lot of tension and felt as if Jane Austen co-wrote the script. I hope that Season 4 will be even better. Check it out if you haven't seen the show.

I still vividly recall the excitement of watching *Soul Train* as a child, mesmerized by a dancer who resembled someone of Asian descent—a rare and striking presence on 1980s television. This remarkable dancer is a Korean American woman, the only Asian performer on the show, breaking barriers and redefining representation. Delve into her inspiring story and discover how she earned her place on this iconic dance program. For those who may not be familiar with *Soul Train*, uncover the journey of this groundbreaking Asian American woman who bravely stepped into the spotlight during a time when Asians were largely absent from American media. Her story is an essential part of the narrative of diversity and inclusion in entertainment. .
