PROJECT OVERVIEW
Mekong is a publication platform dedicated to uplifting the histories, voices, and experiences of the Southeast Asian diaspora. Like the river, Mekong flows across borders—connecting communities and carrying with it the richness, resilience, and diversity of the SEA.
Our initiative is to promote nuanced narratives to the rest of the world while curating a sense of cultural pride within Southeast Asian Americans though innovative design and thoughtfully curated content.
In this first issue, I centered it on Cambodia, treating it as an opportunity to spotlight my culture to readers unfamiliar with the nation while also learning more about it myself!
