When showrunner and filmmaker Kulap Vilaysack realized that a part of her felt missing, she did what comes naturally and made it an onscreen project. Cristen and Caroline talk to Kulap about navigating relationships with her Laotian refugee parents and going the distance to unpack her family baggage. Plus, the premiere of Ask a Girl, where we hear from almost-10-year-old Courtney about the ups and downs of being smart, negotiating with boys, and how growns can relate to girls.
