Young girl’s reaction to actress in ‘Hamilton’ proves why Asian American representation matters

A young girl has gone viral for her priceless reaction to seeing a lead actress in the new “Hamilton” film. In the days following the release of “Hamilton” on Disney Plus, Phillipa Soo, who plays Eliza Schuyler in the film and whose father is of Chinese descent, shared a video of a young girl named Jenna excitedly pointing out Soo in the movie. “Little Jenna here is exactly why #representationmatters,” Soo tweeted. “I am so grateful for this show, that so many young people can watch this show and say ‘It’s me’. Thank you @britbrit1432 for sharing this video.”
