Leslie Yeh
Midwest-born and California-raised, Leslie lived in LA for years before moving to New York days before the world shut down in March 2020. Needless to say, she knows little of the city she now calls home, but can draw you a map of all her favorite cafes in LA ranked by ease of parking. In her spare time, she’s probably thinking about, talking about, or on occasion making zines about diasporic food cultures, or plotting her next escape to her happy place, Taipei.
