Overachiever Magazine recognizes its platform as an online community space that is safe for free expression for all AANHPI women and gender minorities. OM’s new Letters to the Editor section will be available as an ongoing forum for individuals and organizations within our community to share their opinions.
The new Letters to the Editor section will create the opportunity for our readers to discuss their 350 word stance on a wide range of topics about AANHPI culture, entertainment, life, and other social issues faced within our community—without the pressure of writing a full piece.
