This family factory challenges our perceptions of each other through handcrafted fortune cookies.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The 65-year-old Oakland Fortune Factory specializes in hand-crafted fortune cookies and it's one of the last bakeries to carry on long-standing customs. Inside, the mother-daughter team Jiamin and Alicia Wong are evolving the traditional treat in impactful ways.
"As an Asian American that grew up here, I've experienced a lot of racism, shame, and guilt," said Wong."The fortune cookies that I make are my way of changing how people perceive me and how people perceive Chinese Americans." Oakland Fortune Factory offerings range from chocolate-dipped treats with sprinkles to hand-painted cookies with meaningful messages.
