The white elephant in the room: anti-Asian racism in Canada
UBC Brand & Marketing requested that I create a feature and in-article illustration for Dr. Henry Yu’s op-ed. Originally published in Beyond UBC, the piece was also published in BC History Magazine’s 2022 Spring issue and used the illustration as the cover.
