What a year it’s been for former UAlbany communications and women’s-studies major Nora Lum, B.A.’11! Just since the spring, the performer, also known as Awkwafina, has débuted in the motion pictures “Ocean’s 8” and “Crazy Rich Asians”; released the EP In Fina We Trust; and hosted the “I Heart Radio Much Music Video Awards” (MMVAs) in Canada. And there are still a few months left in the year.
Above, Lum is pictured at the premieres of “Crazy Rich Asians” (fourth from left, in pink gown) and “Ocean’s 8” (second from left).
A multi-talented rap artist, comedian, and actor, Lum returned to campus for a New York State Writers Institute event on Aug. 31, 2017. During her appearance, she signed books and talked with students and staff.
