LK21 NONTON The Claudia Kishi Club (2020)

Synopsis
The Claudia Kishi Club (2020) For many Asian American women (and other women of color), Claudia Kishi was the first time they saw themselves in popular media. A main character in the best-selling Baby-Sitters Club books, she was one of the only Asian Americans in 80s-90s popular culture. Not only was Claudia a rare Asian American protagonist, but she also defied stereotypical portrayals of Asian characters: she was creative, popular, and (gasp!) bad at school. For readers who craved seeing themselves in the media they consumed-not as exotic others or token sidekicks, but as fully realized human beings-Claudia was a revelation. ??Netflix
