Hi Friend!
안녕 친구!
The good folks at Cleaver Magazine, Philadephia’s International Literary Magazine, have published my essay, “Double Folded”, in their Summer 2021 issue.
“Double Folded” is about being in Korea, Korean American identity and the struggle against oppressive beauty standards. Click the image below to check it out ^^
Special shout out to Cleaver’s tireless founder and editor-in-chief, Karen Rile, who’s also been a guest on the “Is it Recess Yet” podcast!
Thank you for writing this. It took my breath away how much I related to this.
Thank you so much for reading, Dhaea! Your comment really means a lot and I’m so grateful. I wonder if you feel the same way about your writing, but I find it can be really challenging to write about complex topics that feel really vulnerable and personal to me, so it’s really validating to hear that you are out there, maybe feeling something similar to the experiences and thoughts I’m sharing here. Thank you so much, again!
