Chrislyn Choo

Emmy-Winning Producer, Facilitator, and Multimedia Artist

Chrislyn Choo / 朱琦恩 (she/her) weaves stories of shalom. An Emmy-winning producer, facilitator, and multimedia artist, she guides communities through the sacred work of reconnecting with their roots. In collaboration with heritage keepers like Parents Are Human, Asian American Christian History Institute, and My China Roots (as seen in Found on Netflix), she nurtures spaces that honor the multitudes we carry and metabolize grief and joy into collective resilience, so we can become better ancestors today. From STORY Conference and Filmshop to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and East-West Center in Hawaii, her speaking and facilitation bridge the crossroads of cultural transformation and community care – equipping family historians, filmmakers, and faith leaders to steward our stories with reverence and integrity.

Rooted in the U.S., China, and Malaysia, Chrislyn feels most alive in the tender work of crystallizing 只可意会, 不可言传: what can be deeply felt, yet eludes words. She is now dreaming up offerings that transform family lore into living heirlooms and catalyze healing across generations.
