==Sam Lu==
==Yellow Noise==


Born in Wuhan, raised in Vancouver, and currently living in Montreal, Sam is a student at McGill University pursuing a double major in Biology and English Literature. Along with many friends and helpers, he co-founded Yellow Noise Magazine in response to the dearth of Asian representation in the media. After having struggled against the model-minority myth all throughout high school, he discovered that there were actually many Asian people working on interesting artistic projects and much needed political activism. He decided to create a platform to shine a spotlight on those who are actively engaged in artistic and activist communities. He hopes that through this platform, young artists and activists of Asian descent can not only express themselves but also find role models who look like them and face the same struggles.
Yellow Noise is a Canadian based online/print platform that seeks to highlight young Asian identifying peoples in the West who push the boundaries of artistic and political expression. Recognizing the diversity of backgrounds encompassed by this label of “Asian”, we seek to open dialogue on what it means to be Asian in Western society today and to honour/acknowledge the multiplicity of perspectives involved. There will be both a focus on maintaining a sense of harmony within the community as well as solidarity with other groups of people of colour. The overarching mission of Yellow Noise is to provide a platform by Asian-identified youth for Asian-identified youth to negotiate the hybridity of identity we experience in a white-dominant society, with a particular focus on the intersection of issues of class, gender, and ability.
