What is Coco’s Echo?
“Is that really my voice?” I ask when I hear recordings of myself. The echoes that come from our mouths can feel so familiar versus the tinny, alien sounds from a speaker. As a writer, my thoughts and private scribblings are just like the sound of my voice in my head: comforting and reliable. However, when I get published online or see my words in print, I tend to feel disconnected from them.
I hope that through the practice of writing a semi-regular newsletter, about the topics that I care deeply about (race, pop culture, film & art, Asian identities, and motherhood), I’ll be able to marry those discordant voices, and thus produce stronger work.
