Definitely submit a video portfolio. I know they say it’s optional, but I think between your unique EC’s and being a minority, it can certainly showcase why you’d be a great addition to Brown. Start collecting video clips this summer - of whatever you might think you’ll possibly include. Might be clips of you volunteering, playing squash, working your summer job, etc. My kid did a bulk of theirs in the fall, which was stressful on top of AP classes & college essay revisions. Look on YouTube for examples, but my advice is to try to make it unique and fun- let your personality shine through.
