Zinc Chew

Zinc Chew first turned to storytelling as an act of rebellion against the authoritarian school she grew up in back in Penang, Malaysia—a place that stifled yet ignited her voice. Now with a sociology degree, she’s a cat mom, an anxious soul, a journalist, and—don’t call her this; she cringes—a filmmaker. She likes anything tender, as well as vérité.
