Ashley Wu
(she/her) Mentee
Ashley Wu is a teenager in New York. She is a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student and a zebra. Only four of those things are true.

Artist‘s Statement
Writing helps me practice the process of articulating my thoughts in an engaging, precise manner. Writing helps me practice the art of using my voice. I write about what I think about. In this way, my stories are unique to me. But I also write about topics we all think about, like sleep and love and home. In this way, my stories are for everyone.
