Always Quote by Jo Koy

“Whether it was a shoe store or working the front desk of a hotel, I was always interacting with people. I'd get that look because I'm half-white and half-Filipino. They could tell I was something, but they really couldn't tell what I was.” quote by Jo Koy — Download Open image
