You may or may not remember, but you visited Syracuse upon launching Seasonal Velocities, and gave a talk/reading at the university. Afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing you for Syracuse University’s Asian-American magazine, A-Line (https://alinemagazine.wordpress.com/2012/04/).

That was four years ago, and to this day, it was one of the most impactful Asian American/queer stories I have ever heard. I think at the time, I unfortunately didn’t really realize that.  From time to time, I look back at the interview and am simply amazed by the things that you articulated so well. It makes me want to say “YES” and send it out to everyone I know!

So, I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about you since that day. Thank you for giving so much insight, and for your continued dedication in empowering the queer and Asian American communities through sharing your life experience.

I hope you and your family are doing well.”
