“Unspoken Things” is about being in a gray area with someone and not knowing where you stand with them.
Story
Yao Liu
(she/her) Mentee
Yao Liu is a cat-lover who resides in San Diego, CA. She is in 11th grade. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, reading, watching Youtube, and of course, writing! An interesting fact about Yao is that attempted to learn how to sing by getting vocal lessons in 9th grade. Needless to say, she realized that maybe she was not cut out in the vocal department. Her goals for this year are to gain more recognition for her poetry/creative writing blog. Her proudest achievement was receiving The President´s Volunteer Service Award in 2021 for doing 100+ hours of volunteer service.
Artist‘s Statement
The poem I created this year, published by the GWN anthology, showed my passion for storytelling through creative writing. It showed my approach to channeling my emotions and experiences through art.
