Japanese American singer-songwriter Mitski Miyawaki says her identity is made up of “a million selves” that defy categorization — and fans are saying they find inspiration in that. “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We,” Mitski’s newest album, explores her multitude of selves, she says. Mitski’s oscillation between different identities resonates with fan Sunny Dizon, who feels she’s had to do the same to navigate her identity as a Filipina American transgender woman. Dizon said she was the only Asian kid at school and the only Asian family she knew of. She remembers going to the science fair knowing she was fulfilling a stereotype, or joining theater knowing it wasn’t what people expected of her. Listening to Mitski, Dizon identifies with her “struggles to find her place, in her interpersonal relationships and in the world at large.” Read more at the link in bio. 📷️ Mark Horton/Getty Images
