Today, I write essays for places like the Washington Post, Zocalo Public Square and xoJane, blog for the Huffington Post, and serve as a cultural commentator. I currently appear on episodes of Mike Epps' AOL Originals series, That's Racist. After receiving my master's in Asian American Studies from UCLA, I taught courses on gender, immigration, and writing at UCSB, UCLA, and 826LA, and contributed to the books Where to Wear Los Angeles, Frommer's Los Angeles, A Hedonist's Guide to Los Angeles, and Asian American Youth. As a stem cell donor and advocate for Be the Match, I've been featured in the Wall Street Journal and on Doctor Radio on SiriusXM. The Things We Tell Ourselves is my first novel.
