Chinese Canadians are remembering singer Coco Lee as a pioneer in promoting Asian representation in North American pop culture, following her recent death. Lee, who was born in Hong Kong and raised in San Francisco, died at the age of 48 after a suicide attempt. Throughout her 30-year career, she sang and acted in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, gaining fame in North America and Chinese-speaking regions. Lee's passing has also shed light on the stigma surrounding Mental Health issues within Asian communities. Toronto actor Bryce Seto, who has been advocating for normalizing mental health discussions, co-founded the Blossom Mental Health Fund to support Asian Canadians.
