During the pandemic, while in lockdown, I grew upset reading article after article of racism against Chinese Canadians. I decided to do something about it and this personal project came about. I documented the experiences of seven Chinese Canadians who experienced racism during the pandemic. This story appeared in the September 2020 issue of Maclean’s Magazine. I am so grateful to have the space in Maclean’s to spread more awareness of the racism Chinese people in Canada still face today and I’m grateful to the seven Canadians who shared their experiences with me.
