Favorite Quote
At heart, everyone craves real kindness in a world so often starved or skeptical of it. Small, unshowy acts of grace that translate beyond language and social status ... Every human being, regardless of ethnicity, just wants to be truly witnessed.

Introduction
Recent years have highlighted anti-Asian racism in our culture and media, from blaming Asian people for the COVID-19 pandemic, to devastating attacks on Asian-run businesses.
But while anti-Asian behavior is becoming more evident, it has been prevalent and insidious for some time within British culture.
Helena Lee is the acting deputy editor at Harper's Bazaar.
In this book of essays, Lee aims to explore the experiences and perspectives of British Asian communities.
East Side Voices was developed from a cultural salon set up by Lee, bringing together writers and artists to discuss topics around their cultural identity.
