Hello, I’m Jessie
I’m a freelance writer, journalist and artist. I cover human rights, politics and culture with a transnational and feminist perspective. A Hongkonger now based in London, I’m a specialist on China and Asia. My work has appeared in The Guardian, BBC World Service, CNN, The Economist, and more.
