A Chicago teen is using her voice and the written word to share and celebrate her Chinese-American heritage.
Her book, titled"Not Just A Simple Chinese Girl," mirrors parts of her life in the big city.
“It’s just not about the Chinese community. It’s also about what’s going on with Asian violence,” she said. “I referenced that a little bit because I want to bring awareness about what’s going on.” Eng’s book was released last week kicking off the celebration of Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage month.
“We have stories to share, it’s beautiful and it doesn’t matter where you’re from or how your life turns out,” she said. “You can be an ordinary person and still have so many things to show to other people.” The book is available for purchase through Amazon, or customers can pick up a copy in person this Saturday, May 14 in Chinatown Square from 11am to 3pm.
