LILLY TAING

My comic, Home, for Legacies: An Asian American Anthology.

​

In the past few years, I have been reflecting a lot more on my Asian American identity. I have always struggled with wanting to share my experiences of coming to terms with what being Asian American and being a child of refugees and of a mixed ethnic background is like, because I often felt out of place in the Asian American community. Illustrating for this anthology is another step towards processing how my childhood has shaped who I am today and accepting that my story adds to the rich, diverse experiences of Asian Americans everywhere.
