Phuong
Phuong was 14 years old when he wrote his comic. He and his family are from Viet Nam. He likes people watching, eating, and listening to music. His favorite part of this writing process was planning out comic panels on sticky notes. He wrote “New Beginning” for comedic purposes and hopes that the audience can have a good laugh.
During the summer of 2023, ten young people from AALEAD came together to create this zine centering Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) stories. In collaboration with Shout Mouse Press story coaches and professional comics artists, they drew and wrote comics centering AAPI identities in diverse, authentic, accessible ways that affirm other AAPI young people, increase understanding, and foster an inclusive next generation.
