The(ir) Blurb...

To Ken with Love is a story about Ken Jones, a flamboyant talk show host who relishes being the "whitest gaysian ever." However, underneath Ken's colorful persona lies a case of internalized racism. So, not only does Ken not want to be Asian but he hates it and tries to stay away from it. Soon, Ken's perfectly curated world of glitz and glamour is rocked by an incident at work, forcing him to reckon with tokenism in the workplace, and the re-appearance of his mother, whom Ken had not seen in over twenty years.
