How Asian Culture Has Changed My Relationship With Food

This story has a sad beginning but a happy future ahead. Today I am going to share a little bit about my struggles with food and weight and how Asian culture has positively impacted my view of food—and myself.

My name is Alexis, and I am a Storyteller. I have been telling stories since I could speak, and writing poetry, prose, and screenplays since I was about 8. A few of my screenplays have received recognition at film festivals internationally. I have also completed two novels. I am especially drawn to Asian cinema and television and I currently watch more Korean and Chinese dramas than I do American television. I was born in Arizona and spent most of my life in the Southwest US, but I recently moved to Los Angeles. I am a Christian Mystic, hopeless romantic, cultural dancer, world traveler, ocean fanatic, and deeply relational person. I enjoy having meaningful conversations over coffee, tea, or anything boba. Thanks for stopping by!
