“Unveiling the Unseen: Teresa Wong Explores the Extraordinary Depths of Everyday Life in Her Graphic Memoir”
I think there’s a risk for writers when they’re people of color, coming from different cultures, to be like a tour guide, someone explaining the culture to readers, kind of assuming a white readership. I didn’t want to do that so much in this book. There is a little bit of explaining, but what I wanted to do was kind of walk that line between writing for people who knew exactly what I was talking about and writing for people who might not. And so in the end, I felt like if, contextually, people didn’t completely need to understand every single word, then it would be fine.
