About East Asian Girl Gang
East Asian Girl Gang
was born out of the realisation that for the many years I had made England my home, I could not count a single friend within the East Asian community. Conversely, my childhood and youth in Canada has left me a legacy of long-lasting friendships with other CBAs (Canadian- born Asians). I missed the immediacy of connection with others over everything from growing up eating rice with everything (spaghetti bolognese with rice on the side anyone?) to realising that I could never conform to the standard definition of Western beauty - how could I? I was Asian.
I wanted to create a group, a gang of friends of all ages and professions, who were tied together by their East Asian backgrounds and upbringings, and memories of sometimes inhabiting an 'otherness'. East Asian Girl Gang is a place for conversation both in person and online, the sharing of thoughts, ideas, hopes, achievements and failures all based on a strong bond of shared heritage, warmth and mutual respect.
