Hi, I'm Quyen 👋

You probably knew that since you found me on the internet. You might be looking for my writing. I am interested in diasporas, queerness, and the intersection of creative & critical work. I am Vietnamese in a manner of speaking and occasionally Canadian.

My name is pronounced Quyên (like wee-ng), and my pronouns are generally she/they.
