Elie Park
she/her š°š·Hi, Iām Elie! Iām currently a senior in high school. I started this magazine as a way to share my dual identity as an Asian American and give others the opportunity to also share their stories on the mixed identity experience.
I invite you to join me on this initiative by leaving a comment on our articles or writing about your own experience in our blog section.
