Letter to the Editor

sorry for the lateness :/

Dear Hypen editor,

First of all, I'm truly proud to say that I am Asian American. The distribution of Hyphen magazine is another reliable source of cultural information. Not only does Hyphen explore a variety of Asian American stories, but its articles "keep it real". It keeps away from that traditional format we see from books, newspapers and shows people what's going on right now. What sets it aside from other magazines is that it emphasizes that Asian Americans are more than stereotypes thrown at us on a daily basis. We too have skills, talents, and unique voices just like everyone else. Hyphen give us Asian Americans the chance to speak up in society and show ourselves for what we value and accomplish. Most importantly, I feel that it shows that we aren't just solely Asian or solely American, but a real good mix of both.
