Our Adoption Story is a children’s picture book based on a true story of transnational adoption and chosen family, originally created for AAS 512 Asian American Children's/Adolescent Literature. Through parallel journeys of a child and their dog, the book explores loss, care, cultural identity, and healing in ways that are accessible to young readers while reflecting deeper themes in Asian American adoptee experiences.
Created for AAS 330: Nikkei in the U.S., this zine recovers the often-erased histories of disabled Japanese Americans during World War II incarceration. Drawing from archival research, disability justice frameworks, and Nikkei scholarship, it centers Deaf, blind, chronically ill, and aging survivors whose experiences were marginalized within both incarceration narratives and disability history.
