Letters to the Editor
“I feel I’ve always been writing about self-identity. How do we become who we are? So I’m just writing from experience about what’s concerning me.” - Amy Tan

The facts are painted with blood as we must not turn a blind eye to the increasingly accumulating death toll, and the causes behind it.

The call for a ceasefire in Gaza is not to take sides on a religious or political stance to say who is in the right or wrong but to call a stop to the bombings and killings of innocent civilians in Gaza, Palestine.

We are excited to introduce OM’s new opinion section!

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.
