About this Event

Join author Taira Soo for an intimate reading and conversation about her debut memoir, Just a Little Buzzed — a lyrical exploration of identity, belonging, and the beauty of detours. Told with humor and heart, her story reminds us that sometimes the mess is the map. Joining Taira is actor Stella Choe.

About the participants:

Taira Soo is a writer and former dancer and designer rooted in LA’s creative community. She is the author and creative director of split & type, a story studio for winding narratives and sharp turns. Her debut memoir, Just a Little Buzzed, explores risk, heartbreak, and the sideways turns that shape a life.

Stella Choe is an actor, dancer, and storyteller who has worked across film, television, and stage for over 30 years. She is known for the viral video "What Kind of Asian Are You," which sparked conversations around identity and representation. She is honored to moderate an evening celebrating Just a Little Buzzed.

About the book:

Just a Little Buzzed is a lyrical memoir about identity, detours, and belonging told through the lens of recovery, reinvention, and the sideways paths that shape us. Blending humor, heart, and honesty, Taira Soo traces how losing her sense of direction became the map to something truer.
