Samhita here, I'm the new executive editor of Teen Vogue. This week, in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, I'm bringing you a newsletter filled with Asian American realness.
This month at Teen Vogue we are running a series of stories that zero in on different aspects of Asian and Asian American identity. While we are always covering the voices of people left out of mainstream conversations, we'll take this opportunity to highlight some of our favorite stories and voices in the Asian and Asian American space. We will look at leaders, movers, and shakers that are changing the way we think about Asian Americans and undoing long-held stereotypes that have got. to. go. (Apu, anyone?)
This week's round-up of must-read stories includes a diverse set of stories: one about the 29 Asian actors you really need to know about, another about why "colorful hair" is not indicative of whether an Asian woman is rebellious, and another about the rise of Asian "mean girls." I love this set of stories — and hope you do, too!
