The Founders & Executive Board
History and Mission
Mochi was founded in 2008 to provide a community for Asian American teenage girls to access sisterly advice and gain self-esteem. Articles written by peers in high school allow girls to see how others cope with similar issues. Articles written by college women, young professionals, and other role models provide inspiration. Mochi has published 7 issues to-date: Travel (Summery 2010), College (Spring 2010), Body (Winter 2010), Green (Fall 2009), Technology (Spring/Summer 2009), Winter (Winter 2009), and Premiere (Fall 2008).

hi girls,
i’m currently a junior at brown university. discovered your magazine through a friend and think it’s a fantastic idea. consider me a supporter. so so wonderful! ^_^ congrats, and keep up the great work.
I graduated university in ‘06, but I still enjoy reading your articles!
Oops…haha since this is targeted to teens guess I should’ve mentioned that I graduated high school in ‘02.. haha! but many of these topics are still pertinent to Asian American women in their 20s!
You are all so awesome, giving back in this way. I found this site because I was looking up lijie, an AMAZING artist that I have been following since my days at Wellesley (just over two years), and I’m glad I discovered it. Keep up the good work!
