Kat, you put into words, things I have been thinking and feeling as it pertains to my relationship with my father. There is much healing for me that still needs to happen and your article definitely helped me to process.

Thank you for your words!

You did a find job, Young. This is probably the first curation newsletter I've read (of only essays) where I wanted to read every one (if I haven't already). 😊 Thank you! And thank you Tiffany for continuing to help raise Asian voices, xo

Thank you for featuring my piece! I took a bit of a break from Substack and returned to find this and I'm so so appreciative :') Thank you for sharing and can't wait to see more from AWC.

Thank you so much, Brother Young, for featuring my piece in this deeply thoughtful and resonant curation! I really valued reading your reflections on my writing and perspective, as well as getting to know more about you and your own journey. Your poignant metaphor of how our encounters with the wall / force field that fixates on our external qualities ends up being felt by us as an internal blockade, made me catch my breath. What a powerful distillation of many of my experiences over years of being a first-generation immigrant in the UK and US. Thank you for sharing.

I’m sorry to be replying late to this wonderful post too, as I ended up needing to take an extended break from Substack due to life, but I’m looking forward to exploring the other pieces here (some from writers I already know and admire, and others I’m excited to get to know!).
