Jessie Lau is a London-based writer and award-winning journalist from Hong Kong
I’m an independent writer and journalist telling global stories with an intersectional feminist approach. I’ve spent the past decade covering human rights, politics and culture from Asia, Europe and the United States. My work has appeared in The Guardian, Los Angeles Review of Books, BBC, Times Literary Supplement, The Economist, CNN and many more publications.
