BuzzFeed is finally relevant again, by making a BuzzFeed Why I Quit series, and also bringing back all the people who made Why I Quit Buzzfeed videos

Ash I was so excited when you were announced as part of the new Try Cast, and then for you to welcome us in on your journey on becoming a hunky dude was such an honor. It makes me so happy to see you in a place now where you are happy and thriving after all that life threw at you ❤❤❤

As an Asian girl who did see myself in you growing up, this makes me so happy. You finding yourself, and you being happy. From my childhood to now adulthood, you’re still a role model to me.

Buzzfeed gets a lot of crap, but some really good creative and interesting people got their start there. Ash, you're one of them. I always liked your videos over there (having been a somewhat awkward Asian girl myself in my younger years), and I followed along with your video output as best I could over time. I'm so happy to see that you've found your true path thru life, and I wish you the very best future. Thrive! 🌈

This is Ash’s journey but it feels more like a warm hug of growing up together through all these times
