ATTN: Asian American writers in NY

Peachies — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:00:22 +0000

Open City is a new online magazine on Asian American news and culture in New York. We’re looking for Creative Nonfiction Fellows to write and produce stories on the vibrant immigrant communities of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. In a time when Occupy Wall Street is shedding a harsh light on economic inequality, Open City offers a unique platform for writers to tell the stories of low-income Americans too often ignored or misrepresented. If you’re an emerging creative nonfiction writer looking for financial support, a work space and career mentorship, apply to become a Creative Nonfiction Fellow. You’ll help us document the rapidly growing, transforming and challenging experience of what it means to be Asian American in urban New York today. Applications are due on February 17, 2012.

The lack of bone marrow donors within the Asian American community is still a serious issue. Please consider registering to be a donor. Also, if you’ve already registered before, remember to keep your info up to date.

Can’t lie~ this is hard to watch:

Praying for you, Janet.

Dreams

Thought it was interesting that the last few songs that I’ve come across have all had the word “dream” in the lyrics. I’m definitely a dreamer!

For you Asians on YouTube fans, here’s a newly released video with a lot of familiar faces. A day in the life of DANakaDAN from afterschoolspecial (kind of):

Another new release from Verseatile. I’m digging this song:

And new music from Bak (I’ve used a # of his beats in my editing) and Justin Fong (At Last/Tatum Jones):

Michelle Phan is definitely one of the most talented young women I know. She’s a visionary artist who transcends the art of makeup. I love that she’s writing and directing short narrative pieces for her tutorials! Check it out. Just in time for NYE:
