Kristina Wong never thought sewing masks would turn into a published book and an off-Broadway hit show but life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect, now does it? From performer to politician to activist, Kristina wears so many hats – or in this case, masks – many of them at the same time, even she can’t keep track.
When the pandemic hit, she had a calling to DO something, so she found her own light in the darkness, and the Auntie Sewing Squad was born. They delivered thousands upon thousands of masks – and much more including a used ambulance – to people and communities in need. Ever the over-achiever, Kristina didn’t stop there: She published the book, THE AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD GUIDE TO MASK MAKING, RADICAL CARE, AND RACIAL JUSTICE, based on her year-long experience. And then she decided to over-over-achieve her over-achievement and KRISTINA WONG, SWEATSHOP OVERLORD opened off-Broadway on November 4th to rave reviews. She’s equally inspiring as she is hilarious and apparently never sleeps. Her journey will rally you to create a good squad of your own.
