The Truth Beneath the Northern Lights
Janice Liu had grown up in a household where achievement wasn’t just encouraged—it was enforced. The daughter of Chinese American immigrants in the bustling suburbs of New Jersey, Janice was raised in a home characterized by discipline, deference, and diligence. Her parents, both engineers, believed in structure, order, and the absolute necessity of excellence. Her path, as they envisioned it, was straightforward: top grades, a prestigious university, and a respectable, high-earning profession.

We’re Just Here for the Chicken
I used to stick a pin on a map and go. Pack a bag. Be there in a day. New life, new start. That was my little segment of white privilege. Sure, I wasn’t always safe as a woman. I was born poor and short. And Welsh. I could, if I so chose, bugger off to wherever. Whenever. Teach the language of my closest living relatives, all because the English white dispensation had made it possible. Through blood and rape and tears. Not something I’m proud of. But not an opportunity someone like me was going to pass up either. Bottom line is I could. Because they did.

Passionate about my problems
So I flopped onto the couch on Memorial Day wondering why I feel so desperate. Then I realized I don’t have decent company, I’m drowning in debt as I maxed out all four of my credit cards, I don’t have cash, and my love life is not real.

Right here, waiting
Sweat fills my palms and my legs are shaking, almost failing under me. The first people began to flow out from the gate, tired eyes scanning for exits while pulling rolling bags. Breath left my lungs, I gripped the small little box tied with purple and black bows tight, looked out for one set of eyes in particular …

Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice
Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice Introduction: Who I Am and Where I Come From They say identity is a journey. For me, it has been an ocean—deep, unpredictable, and endlessly vast. I was born in a land where my name was not strange, my accent was not noticeable, and my food didn’t need translation. But that land became a memory when my family moved across continents, chasing a better life and sacrificing almost everything familiar to start from zero. I became a first-generation immigrant overnight—young, confused, and silently holding the weight of two worlds.
