Queer Asian Americans Let Your Voices Be Heard

Project L.Y.F.E. is seeking Queer Asian American VOICES

Contact us to share your story. Email: ProjectLYFE@gmail.com or visit www.myspace.com/pr0jectLYFE .

Project L.Y.F.E. (Leadership and Youth Fighting for Education) is documenting the ways in which Queer Asian American college students navigate the socio-educational landscape of higher education. Everyday, Queer Asian American college students come “out” in classrooms, writing about y(our) experiences, challenging stereotypes and fighting for LGBTIQ rights all in support of a Queer Asian American movement. This process of “queering” often goes undocumented and Project L.Y.F.E. strives to secure space in history for a Queer Asian American movement.

Project L.Y.F.E. is an interview-based, qualitative, ethnographic project that is looking for student organizers, activists and leaders to share their experiences of success, struggle and compromise. While previous literature has addressed the formation of Queer communities and identities within Asian America, Project L.Y.F.E. will document the substantive individual and collective actions and advocacy efforts Queer Asian American college students fight for. Champion your student organizing efforts – be RECOGNIZED.

If you are a self-identified Queer Asian American college student, Project L.Y.F.E. needs you!

L.Y.F.E. as an asian american
a queer L.Y.F.E.
living L.Y.F.E.
a L.Y.F.E. of struggle
How do you live your L.Y.F.E.?

Project L.Y.F.E. – y(our) L.Y.F.E. stories.
