I’m a panel speaker at this conference for Asian American women. The event takes place on Saturday at Emerson Hall on the Harvard campus. I’m going to be discussing Family, Cultural, and Community Influences.
Here’s how this is probably going to go:
Moderator: Tell us about one experience in which your cultural or family values were challenged.
Me: Um, my entire life?
I'm Lena Chen, a writer and media producer who's been called a "skank" (by Bill O'Reilly) and "a small Asian woman" (by The New York Times). My favorite part of my workday is the hate mail.
I got started blogging as an undergrad at Harvard, where I started the infamous Sex and the Ivy blog. My life and my Google results haven't been the same since. Nowadays, you can catch me online talking all things sex-related on Sex Really With Lena Chen, a webcast for Bedsider.org, and Sexy Times, a web series debuting in January 2012 on gURL.com. I have mixed feelings toward the portmanteau "sexpert".
