Author Event with Michelle Yang | Asian Mental Health Bookclub

Join us for a virtual event where we will be chatting with Michelle Yang about her book, Phoenix Girl: A Memoir. Michelle Yang is an advocate who writes on the intersection of Asian American identity, body image, and mental health. This memoir explores how Michelle emigrated to the U.S. from the tight-knit ethnic Chinese enclave in Incheon, South Korea, and had to adapt quickly to survive. With a dominant, impulsive father in charge-who protects the family from everyone but himself-and a mother who never finds her power, Michelle craves safety and security. 

The event will take place on Tue March 10 2026 at 5pm PST. Don't miss out on this opportunity to hear from our author!
