In the letter, Awkwafina opens up about the struggle to be taken seriously as an artist and the necessity of taking risks when following your dream. "Awkwafina was a dream I was chasing, and in some ways I am still chasing her," she writes.
She also details how she got fired and became broke all to keep the dream of Awkwafina alive — even when people told her that her act was a "joke."
"But we need to take risks. We need to go broke. We need to prove them wrong, simply by not giving up," she writes.
The letter also includes a pretty moving detail about the song "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. Awkwafina explains how she listened to the song when she had her first meeting with a record label that later blew her off.
She listened to the song again going to the premiere for the highly anticipated movie Crazy Rich Asians.
