Phuong H
Phuong
Ha Diep Phuong was 16 when she created her comic. She was born in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. She currently lives in Washington, D.C. with her family, due to her mom’s career. Phuong is very curious, athletic, and likes to challenge herself. “Packing” is her debut story. It talks about how she learned to let go of her precious items and grow to be okay moving on with only her memories.
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.
