It was that realization that set her on the track to pursue a career in journalism. After several years of working as a news producer, Chang became on-air talent with ABC News, where she has covered breaking news events, politics and the Democratic National Convention in the '90s. “It’s not that anti-Asian bias didn’t exist before the pandemic, it most certainly did,” Chang said. “But in many ways it was unleashed and weaponized against the Asian-American community.”

Through her hard conversations with the Asian-American community, Chang did say she is hopeful for the future.
