Honest About My Situation Zine by Ivy Zheyu Chen

$20.00

“Being a Chinese living in America.

I’ve been living in the United States for 14 years. In my skin, I’ve traveled to places. Do I get good people? Of course. Do I get a fair share of unfriendly encounters and aggression? Definitely.

Some of them are subtle. The kind that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but you can’t quite put a finger on it. There’s no solid evidence. It comes, it goes.

I’m writing for me and for people like me, to get it out.” - Ivy Zheyu Chen

8.5” x 5.5”
