Alyssa Huynh: A Voice for Inclusion, Diversity, and Belonging

Alyssa Huynh is a Vietnamese-Australian writer, author, anti-racism advocate, educator, diversity & inclusion advisor, and speaker from the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

Her passion for writing was inspired by her late grandfather and their childhood library visits, sparking a lifelong love for words. She began writing in her final years of high school, sharing inspirational pieces on life, love, and identity through her self-titled blog and Instagram, where she created a strong, supportive online community.

In 2020, Alyssa began to speak publicly about her experiences as a Vietnamese-Australian woman, focusing on anti-racism, cultural identity, and belonging. She quickly became a leading voice in social commentary, contributing articles and interviews that resonated with audiences across social media, where she now has a following of over 20,000 people. Alyssa's work champions the importance of connection, community, and allyship in the fight against racism.

As an accomplished writer and blogger, Alyssa’s work has been featured in top publications such as Mamamia, The Latch, Sydney Morning Herald, and Shameless. She has also been highlighted by major media outlets like 7NEWS Australia and the Daily Mail for her advocacy work on racism, multiculturalism, and inclusion.
