Jessie Lau is a writer, journalist & editor from Hong Kong, now in London.
Hi there! I’m a multi-platform journalist who has spent the past decade covering identity, human rights and culture from China, Europe and the United States. My work has appeared in The Guardian, BBC, Los Angeles Review of Books, CNN, The Economist, WIRED and many others. A persistent generalist with expertise on China and Asia, I’m most interested in stories reflecting on gender, race, and empire. I also serve as editor-in-chief and board member at NüVoices, a non-profit amplifying gender minorities working on China subjects. Commission/pitch me
