I Don’t Hate the Sinner, I Hate the Sin explores my personal challenges of growing up queer and Christian. I lived in shame and self-hatred, unaware that I could live an authentic life as a queer Christian. This poem challenges Christians to listen, have dialogue and hear LGBTQ+ people’s stories instead of putting us in limited boxes and stereotypes.

Minority is a piece about the complexities of identity and the challenges navigating who you are in different communities. I explore race, sexuality and faith in this poem, touching on my various parts of my identity.

Everyone Loves An Asian Girl was the first spoken word poem I wrote. This piece explores the exoticization and stereotypes of Asian women and how many of us internalize those conventions.
