This week, we interviewed Winnie Kong, a writer and student who writes Politically Invisible Asians, a newsletter about Asian American voices and perspectives. This interview has been lightly edited. What’s your Substack about in one sentence? Politically Invisible Asians is a biweekly newsletter amplifying Asian American voices.
Is it not better to represent your self? One’s life is filled with an almost infinite memory of what we are and what we are becoming. It is so much more to experience the fullness of being an individual than representing a separate group identity. Break the boundaries that limit growth.
A lot of people are politically invisible. Some try to keep their political views to themselves just to stay sane. I would argue that life in America has become hyper-politicized so I am in favor of being politically invisible.

Hello I'm Suleiman ameen usman from Nigeria
Good for you; I've been concerned with the plight of AAPI voices, so I wrote two substacks about that concern as it relates to my local community:
1) Berry College in Rome Discriminates Against Asian-Pacific Peoples--Part I @ https://rometowncrier.substack.com/p/berry-college-in-rome-discriminates
2) Berry College in Rome Discriminates Against Asian-Pacific Peoples--Part II @ https://rometowncrier.substack.com/p/berry-college-in-rome-discriminates-d86
Hopefully, it will raise some awareness!
