"Hey World, it’s Dede Harlan calling! Chinese-American Sensation Dede Harlan Making Waves in the LGBTQ+ Community"


In the vibrant tapestry of the entertainment industry, Dede Harlan emerges as a Chinese-American sensation, weaving together a narrative of resilience, authenticity, and unwavering passion within the LGBTQ+ community. His journey is a testament to the transformative power of his self-belief and creative expression, resonating with the hearts of those who dare to dream.

"I’ve dreamed of coming to America since I was 16 years old," reflects Dede, “It's the freedom of expression that ignited my decision to make my move here”. From humble beginnings, his story is one of determination and unwavering dedication to creative expression & living his truth. “I've always wanted to share my own unique story through various contents, whether it's through short videos, films or music. However, there isn't much room for me to speak a different voice back home…I had to pretend to be someone that I'm not, and forced to share unauthentic stories. However, the United States is a land full of possibilities and opportunities. This is a country that contains various cultures & embraces different kinds of people. I don't have to worry about being who I am or revealing my true thoughts to the world.“


Overcoming financial challenges during the pandemic, Dede embraced directing as a means to tell compelling stories, create captivating visuals, and assume greater responsibilities in his projects solidifying his artistic prowess. As a director, Dede's cinematic vision has captivated audiences worldwide with his debut thesis film earning accolades at several prestigious film festivals. "The recognition and validation I received from these renowned festivals fueled my passion and propelled me to new heights in my career," leading to the establishment of his production company.


In the vibrant world of online entertainment, the journey of a rising star often hinges on a single pivotal moment that transforms their trajectory. For influencer Dede Harlan, this moment arrived in the form of a viral TikTok video that defied expectations and captured the hearts of millions. Blending four languages into a comedic speech, Dede broke free from the confines of conformity, bravely infusing his Chinese heritage into his digital persona. What began as an uncertain exploration of content creation blossomed into a phenomenon, as Dede’s "Asian mom" series took the internet by storm amassing over 20 million views. This transformative experience not only reshaped Dede’s approach to storytelling but also ignited a cultural renaissance in the digital realm, showcasing the power of authenticity in the ever-evolving landscape of pop culture.


As a multi-cultural, LGBTQ+ creator, Dede embraces his platform to advocate for inclusivity and challenge societal norms, fostering a sense of belonging and unity through his artistry. "My identity and experiences inform my work, driving me to amplify diverse voices and celebrate the beauty of individuality," affirms Dede, embodying a spirit of empowerment and acceptance that resonates worldwide.


In the face of industry challenges and uncertainties, Dede's advice to aspiring artists echoes a message of perseverance and self-belief. "Never underestimate the power of your dreams and talents; the journey may be long, but the destination is worth every step," encourages Dede, offering a guiding light for those navigating their own creative paths.


As Dede Harlan continues to illuminate the entertainment landscape with his creativity and advocacy, his impact as a multifaceted creator transcends borders and boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
