"The thing with being Asian American is that you’re American until they say you’re not. Yet what I find more and more is that wherever I travel, the sheen of America clings to my skin even more than my race, like an overly rich moisturizer refusing to saturate into the surface. If being American is my birthright as a child born on American soil, this is like the sticky afterbirth that won’t wash off." After a lifetime of being made to feel like a “perpetual foreigner” in her own country, Vivian Ho made a surprising discovery when she moved from the U.S. to London: she did not know how to be Asian without being American, despite constantly having her American-ness questioned back home. Read Vivian’s new piece for JoySauce at [link] (link in our bio) Art by @ourobororoboruo #JoySauce #JoyWords - - - NOTE: Like a lot of the art used in JoySauce articles, the artwork accompanying this piece is bold enough to stand on its own. In image 1, I used a minimal amount of text in JoySauce’s (equally bold) signature colors, as well as the JoySauce logo, to give the post a distinctive branding element while still leaving room for the art. Image 2 features an attention-grabbing quote from the piece, also presented in JoySauce colors and prominent enough to easily read. This theme can be repeated for many posts of this kind, and the brand colors can be used in different combinations for easily-achieved variation. Additional hashtags will be included in a comment and each image will have alt text, which I include wherever it’s an option. |
