Emma Chen is a 17-year-old senior at The Clinton School, who is passionate about history, exploring her AAPI identity, and the digital humanities. Emma is a CACF Asian American Student Advocacy Project (ASAP) Youth Leader, and first heard about the Localized History Project while at a REACH Coalition New York State Advocacy Day. Being involved in AAPI advocacy has helped her connect with her own AAPI identity, and also see the ways in which power shapes what history is taught and what we think of as AANHPI history–only increasing her interest in historical research. In school, Emma is involved as the co-editor-in-chief of her school’s newspaper, creating podcasts and content spotlighting the AAPI community. As part of LHP, she hopes to meet and connect with more AAPI youth, learn more about history, and learn how to best tell and shape marginalized histories to engage a wider audience! In her free time, she enjoys watching Grey’s Anatomy (she’s watched the entirety of Grey’s Anatomy twice!), going for long walks, and playing the daily angle.
