Minjie writes about immigration experiences, modern love, and LGTBQ+ topics. Her expressionistic watercolor explores the potential of flow, fluidity, and the embodiment of trapped emotion release.

She’s the author of Heart, Diamond, Club, Spade and chapbook, Strong at Heart, and co-author of Antonym.
Her watercolor practice, initiated as a therapeutic practice to process pain and heal depression, is an embodiment of an emotional landscape that mimics the topography as well as the mountains and water traditional Chinese ink painting.
