Day 2 of Steven Lim Week- Why I Love Steven Lim
Steven Lim is an incredible human.
He’s smart, funny, creative, passionate, relatably awkward- literally all amazing traits. But the one trait that stands out to me is his love. Love for his friends, his family, strangers, his community- Steven loves unabashedly and whole-heartedly. He doesn’t hold back. His love for others is what pushes him to create, we see this in every show he’s made: in worth-it he helps showcase small businesses that may need the business boost, in homemade we see passed down recipes of families and their culture and heritage present in every step of the process, in grocery run we see thought out and important but fun interviews about the Asian American experience, hidden narratives is about the struggles of Asian American restaurants during the pandemic, in dish granted we see steven put love and hard work into the perfect meal for his friends. Steven’s shows are never solely about entertainment. He is always using his platform to advocate and help others, because he cares. He loves others openly and freely and consistently does whatever he can to help them. He ties in culture and representation into all of his shows because he realizes its importance and is passionate about it. He wants to help make the world a better place, and has found an outlet that allows him that opportunity, and he’s seizing it. Most of his shows are calming and feel like you’re wrapped up in a warm blanket because you can feel the gentle but intense love put into the art. He’s put his whole soul into his work, and you can really see it, and i love that about him.
