I shared my recent politics work at the 2023 annual Asian American Journalists Association convention.

I am excited to announce that I have been accepted as a fellow for the 2022 Internationa Women Media Foundation Gwen Ifill Fellowship alongside 19 powerful women storytellers.

This fellowship is designed to address the lack of diversity in leadership positions across newsrooms in the United States by supporting women and non-binary journalists from underrepresented backgrounds. I am thrilled to learn from my 2022 cohort and mentors, their guidance and expertise in this journey of advancing journalism.

The International Women’s Media Foundation is a Washington-based organization that is dedicated to strengthening the role of female journalists worldwide.

To mark the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, I am humbled and honored to share that my two images will be featured in the Bronx Documentary Center's "Storming of the Capitol" exhibition. Michael Kamber and Cynthia Rivera curated the exhibition.

In response to the killings in Georgia, people gathered for a march and vigil organized by Total Liberation Collective on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, in DC’s Chinatown to remember the victims, including six women of Asian descent. Photographed for The New York Times. More work is posted on Instagram.

When you walk into Collin's Barber & Beauty Shop, it feels like home. There are family photos hanging on the walls, football helmets sitting on the shelves and relics from past generations on display.

Under a shelf stacked with hair products, tucked into a picture frame, is the first dollar the Collins family ever made from the barbershop on Aug. 3, 1970.

Over the decades, this barbershop in Syracuse, N.Y., has welcomed four generations of the Collins family, countless community members and, most recently, a New York-based photojournalist by the name of Shuran Huang.
