Rudy Salo is a man of many identities, with one being a first-generation Arab American who grew up in Orange County, CA in the era of the First Gulf War. He shares his experience of living in this anti-Arab climate and his evolution of taking pride in his Arab American heritage. Rudy also speaks on the significance of Arab American representation in the media as he grew up with "no Arab American heroes".
