Inspired by what this would have meant to our teenage selves, we set out to create Burdock—a platform dedicated to celebrating multi-dimensional Asian American experiences; a community to see beauty in our shared experiences, and find joy in the fact that we contain multitudes.

Each print issue is centred around a theme—along the way, we’ve encountered incredible stories of resilience, creativity, and community, and we’re so excited to share them with you.

We hope this platform can help pave the way for a new generation of Asian American youth to dream of boundless possibilities, while creating space for this generation to celebrate our collective journeys.
