Who is she…

Alyssa Huynh is from the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and is an Asian-Australian Writer, Anti-Racism Advocate, D&I Advisor and Speaker. She will become a debut author in 2024.

Inspired by her late grandfather, who she shared a very special connection with, and the many library visits he took her and her older sister on throughout their childhood, she developed a love for the power of words. She started writing in her final years of high school, sharing inspirational and motivational pieces on life and love through a self-titled blog and Instagram where she formed a beautiful community.

Around 2020, things changed for Alyssa and she decided to start speaking on anti-racism and her experiences and identity as a Vietnamese-Australian woman and things that deeply moved her, leading her to lend her voice and thoughtful reflection through her powerful social commentary, articles and interviews. She has grown a following of over 19,000 people on social media and believes in the importance of connection and community.

She is an accomplished writer and blogger, having contributed to mainstream and influential press and media, including online publications like Mamamia, The Latch, Sydney Morning Herald and Shameless and having her work spotlighted by the likes of 7NEWS Australia and Daily Mail.
