3. Sugar Pie DeSanto [3]: Multiracial Filipino/African American blues/R&B/soul singer.

7. Anousheh Ansari [7]: Iranian American entrepreneur and civilian astronaut and first Muslim woman in space.
8. Emily Cross [8]: Multiracial Korean/white(?) American foil fencer and Olympic athlete.

Also, poet and blogger Barbara Reyes responded to my request to post links to her own profiles with a linkspost listing her reviews and discussions of Asian American women writers and artists, HERE [9]. (Check her out, she's awrsome.)

And HERE [10], once again, is the link to the Asian Women Blog Carnival call for submissions, which will be taking submissions of posts and online stuff until April 3. I will come back here and link to the carnival itself when it's done. ETA: and here it is [11]! It's an amazing list of essays on all kinds of topics -- no, it's not just stuff about identity and cultural appropriation, although there's plenty of that. Check it out!

Thanks for reading!
