Lyn (she/her/hers) has always been interested in narratives and what representation means for the diasporic Vietnamese community. During her time in college at UC Irvine, she led research and conducted interviews with community leaders in the Orange County region to develop an audiovisual archive that has since been used in various museum exhibitions on post-war migration. Since then, she’s taught creative writing to young students exploring their cultural identity and worked with Loa on producing podcast stories that reflect the needs of the Vietnamese perspective. Lyn continues her curiosity by trying to better understand the complications of sustainable community organizing and hopes to work toward building solutions that encourage interdisciplinary work.
