Dara said: "Every year, I throw him a big Chinese New Year party.

"All his friends come over and they wear traditional Chinese outfits. His favourite things are bubble tea, noodles and dumplings."

The festivities showcase authentic elements of Chinese culture whilst allowing the eight-year-old to share his heritage with his peer group.

Despite being born and raised in America, Dara emphasises the importance of maintaining connections to her family's Taiwanese origins.
