I’m a writer and editor based in Brooklyn and in the south of France.

My writing—on identity, culture, and the arts—has appeared in three editions of Vogue (U.S., Philippines, and Singapore), The New York Times, Newsweek, W, The Village Voice, and other publications. I’m a former editor in chief of the pioneering Asian American magazine A., former executive editor of Vibe, and a former editorial director of POZ and Lambda Legal. My interview subjects have spanned the worlds of the arts, culture, business, and politics, including singer-songwriters Alicia Keys and Erykah Badu, model Naomi Campbell, human rights icon Winnie Mandela, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, and many others.

In my off-time, I am at the beach, roaming streets in New York or various locations in France, or tumbling down pop-culture rabbit holes on YouTube, Mubi, or the Criterion Channel. LA-born, NJ-bred, Columbia grad.
