    Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and Fresh Off the Boat, moves listeners with her narration of her raw memoir, Making a Scene. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michelle Cobb discuss this candid celebrity memoir. Wu tells how she was raised to suppress her emotions and avoid making a scene, and she reflects on various memorable moments in her life and their impact on her as a person. She shares intimate details of her experiences of sexual assault and harassment, and sheds light on her mental health struggles. Poignant and relatable.
