Drawing inspiration from childhood fairytales and folklore, former video game music composer turned author Elizabeth Lim gives us a glimpse into her creative process and how her appreciation for her Chinese culture has shaped her writing. Her new book, "Spin the Dawn" contrasts from other fantasy novels as it follows the lives of craftspeople combatting obstacles, rather than the typical fantasy characters such as royalty or warriors. Learn more about Lim and "Spin the Dawn" on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
Brooklyn's current and first female Poet Laureate, Tina Chang, spoke to us about her diverse upbringing in Queens, New York, her evolving relationship with her traditional mother, and her personal growth after becoming a mother herself. Released earlier this year, her poetry collection, "Hybrida," delves into her experiences of raising her mixed race children in today's current political climate-- the pressures, challenges, and intricacies. Read her full interview on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
Growing into a career isn't always easy, especially when you're struggling with your identity. As a news reporter and anchor, @dionlimtv shares how she went from putting herself into a box in the news industry to embracing her authentic personality and connecting with viewers on a deeper level through the use of her true voice. She also reveals more of her personal narrative as well as some business advice in her book: "Make Your Moment: The Savvy Woman's Communication Playbook for Getting the Success You Want."

"We all have to find ways to infuse joy into everything that we do," says trans Tamil Sri Lankan American artist, @dlocokid. With work featured on major networks such as @amazon, @Netflix, @hbo, and @theCW-- we were so lucky to catch him for a quick chat. We got to hear about his journey as a multifacted and gender-nonconforming artist, and how he maintains his lifeline through his community and art. He goes deepers into how art is a form of healing, beyond just self expression. Check out his full story on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
If you're in Connecticut, join Stand with "Comfort Women" at Yale for their inaugural Yale International Conference on "Comfort Women" and Wartime Sexual Violence. The conference strives to address current wartime sexual violence as one of the most salient issues of our generation, and seek to educate people on the historical injustices of the past with the hope that history does not repeat itself. Lunch will be provided, during which attendees will have the opportunity to meet some of our extraordinary speakers. The event is this Saturday Oct. 12 from 10-4pm at the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale. Get your tickets at bit.ly/2IHMEFN

Discussing the trials and tribulations of being Asian in America, @hurpodcast holds empowering conversations with #asianamericanwomen about their passions, life experiences, and challenges while giving practical and daring ways to help you step into your own power.

A common #asianamerican experience involves NOT having "the talk" with your parents, much less asking about fertility, pregnancy or childbirth. From the Mamas here at Mochi, here are a variety of stories to shed some light on the experience of pregnancy, labor and motherhood, and hopefully warm your heart or give you a chuckle. Find it on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
While impressions may say otherwise, #asianhair is just as vulnerable to the many factors that create hair damage. From daily grooming routines and chemical treatments to stress, how do we protect our hair from breaking? A popular method for hair rejuvenation is using #esssentialoils and carrier oils in #hairproducts that have different benefits such as hair growth and anti-inflammation. Learn more about the different types of oils you can incorporate into your #haircare routine and the research behind it on MochiMag.com #MochiMag #haircaretips #asianbeauty
To ring in the new season, our editor-in-chief Jennifer Duann Fultz (also known as @chiefexecutiveauntie), recollects her upbringing in the Midwest and reminds us in her Editor's Letter that "fitting in" is not the same as "belonging." We strive for Mochi to be a place where fellow #AsianAmericans feel a sense of belonging and empowerment, where unconventional careers, stories and ideas are respected and celebrated. Read more for some exciting updates on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
Mochi writer @tiffanyyngoo, a current student at UT Austin, recollects her early #college experience and revels in how differently she expected her freshman year to go. ""While I did not get a college experience straight out of a movie, I got something much more refreshing."" From childhood through highschool, there is a set course of classes to take and rules to follow. Now she's become more passionate about her education in college, and feels it's the time where we can experiment with what we've learned and use it to be who we want to be. Hear more of her story and college perspectives on MochMag.com. #MochiMag
Last week, Mochi had the opportunity to attend the @isatv Charity Basketball Tournament in Santa Clara, CA. This annual event features countless #AsianAmerican celebrities facing off in an action-packed basketball tournament; complete with performances and fanfare of the like. Proceeds of the night went to support @aaciorg, who have advocated for and served marginalized and vulnerable communities in Silicon Valley since 1973. Events likes these show the impact platforms like ISA have made on the #AsianAmerican community. Read our coverage of the event on MochiMag.com. #MochiMag
