Asianamerican Stories

Harry Lu enters Johns Hopkins University from SoCal, hoping to navigate the pre-med journey smoothly, only to be faced with an endless pile of assignments, three missed calls from Ma, and a sh*t ton of gunners knocking on his door for answers. Hoping to escape from echoes of the past and the gray hues of Baltimore, Harry, at the last minute, applies to be an undergraduate research assistant at the NIH Kristina Lin Experimental AI Recognition Lab (K.L.E.A.R.). The pay is $23/hr to code remotely from the comfort of his dorm room. However, when top-secret classified information gets leaked to the public, men in black pull Harry straight out of his orgo lecture hall and into an interrogation room. Will Harry return to Hopkins to save the gunners from their egos and 4.0s, or will he comply with a government investigation tied to his future medical career?

Dallas does not forget anything. It watches from neon-lit bar corners and Highland Park breakfast tables, from Oak Cliff church pews and Carrollton market stalls where two languages blend mid-sentence without apology. Ashley Moore is three months from her Communications degree, bartending her way toward a future her mother has different blueprints for - loyal, incisive, and done shrinking herself to fit rooms that were never built for her. Chloe Blanchard is a Design junior navigating the quiet war between who she is and who her world expects her to be, photographing shadows and hiding her real work behind the version of herself that causes the least disruption. When a Deep Ellum dare becomes the best decision either of them makes all year, the city takes note. What follows is not a fairytale. It is family reckoning, legal confrontation, identity excavation, and two women learning to choose each other loudly inside a world that would prefer they stay quiet. The burn is slow. The love is earned. Nothing important comes without cost. drama © Relle H. all rights reserved.

A detailed account of his life, this memoir shows the dark side of being raised by strict tiger parents, bringing depth and insight into the Asian stereotypes that have long persisted.

Some prose personal to me. This was a final project for one of my undergrad English classes, and someone told me I should share it online, so here it is.

"You'll be fine." Aliyah exclaimed. "There's nothing to worry about." Blowing out a breath that she held in for so long, she walked and sat in the edge and dipped her feet into the cold water. As people began to fill up the pool, she began to worry. Walking into the house to use the restroom. She found the nearest one, locked it and hurried up. A loud knock on the door beckon as she wiped her hands on a towel. The door swung open as soon as she unlocked it. An older boy that she didn't know had scanned the area and quickly came in and locked the door. Scared. Is what she felt. Is this even real life? She thought. This can't be real? "I- I have to go." She whispered to the boy. He didn't budge. Moving not one bit. Pushing her way through only made things worse. So the only thing she could do was scream until someone heard her.

Welcome to the 90's on the west coast. Tupac had been murdered. Mad dog 20-20 was the drink of choice. Black lipstick was as common as pocket pistols, and being from the wrong side of town was a cardinal sin. We were the super predators of the end of the millennia, growing into the young men and women who push the nation into unprecedented violence in our search for meaning.

I wrote this for a narrative project for my English class las year. My assignment was to take some true event that had some connection to a minority to group and explore their challenges. Being the AoS obsessed person I am, I chose to do mine on Chloe Bennet and how she changed her name. I did end up watching some of her interviews where she talked about her name and her past, but a lot of this is mere speculation. I don't claim to know how Chloe actually felt throughout this process, and this could be totally off base. And yes, the title is actually a nod to 2.12 in the show.

Twenty two year old Ram has got it all, he's intelligent, athletic, social, and he's just been hired by a well known consulting firm.

Still, Ram trudges on...until he meets Chen. Whimsical, openly gay, and following his dreams of being a novelist, Chen is the complete opposite of Ram. Yet, he has nothing to do with Ram until a sudden accident brings them together. (Inspired by the Chinese BL Tattoo) https://www.novelupdates.com/series/tattoo/

Eleven-year-old June Kao finds her daily life scary and confusing. Her parents made it clear that the Chinese ideal of obeying her elders was the only way for her to grow up safely. Her mother's prejudice against a new family in the neighborhood, however, directly contradicts the multiculturalism embraced by June's classes at school and the choir she sings in outside her home. The humor and personal experiences shared through these last two environments help June realize the errors in her parents' thinking. But it may not be enough to keep her safe. When June's mother falls ill and refuses to see a doctor as a result of her prejudice, she puts her own life in jeopardy. June must make sense of everything she's learned outside her home and find a way to overturn her mom's mindset, before it's too late.
