Dear Asian Youth

Dear Asian Youth is a youth-led, global organization that promotes intersectional activism, solidarity with other marginalized communities, and equality and equity. Through our digital platform, grassroots organizing, and community-based advocacy, we strive to showcase diversity in the Asian community as well as accurate and holistic representation. Dear Asian Youth was founded in May of 2020 by Stephanie Hu, a 16-year-old who wished to create a platform to publish her poetry. It evolved into a blog dedicated to the Asian narrative, then a literary magazine, then a full-fledged organization with over 200 members on the core team. Today, Dear Asian Youth has garnered 110k+ Instagram followers, produced 4 podcast seasons, published 400+ pieces of literature, established 180+ chapters across 18 countries, donated $30,000, and hosted 2 conferences and 30+ webinars. Functioning remotely, the organization today is the product of 300+ passionate volunteers with a shared purpose.
