Lauren Jade Martin

Riot Grrrl Movement Race Identity Racism

This issue of You Might as Well Live by Lauren Jade Martin was created to tell important stories of her identity. She writes about how her half-Chinese and half-Jewish ethnic identities interact with the “blindingly white” zine scene, the history of her family's immigration, her class privilege, where she grew up, experiencing depression, and being an “insider-outsider” in NYC Chinatown.
