The Birthday Book 20/20: Seeing Clearly

Together with Selina Chong, I coedited the 2020 edition of the Birthday Book, titled Seeing Clearly. Published by the nonprofit Birthday Collective since 2016, the Birthday Book is an annual anthology of essays on challenges and opportunities facing Singapore.

Through my work on the 2020 volume, I tried to blur the boundaries between margins and mainstream. In the process, I was honoured to have amplified the stories of our contributors.

Here is a selection of essays which were republished in assorted media outlets:

David Hoe on social mobility and the aspiration gap
Tay Eu-Yen on running a restaurant during the COVID-19 pandemic
Alaric Tan on recovery from drug use
Anisha Joseph on sexual assault/harrasment in Singapore
Dawn-Joy Leong on living with Autism in Singapore

In the lead-up to the book launch, Selina and I also co-hosted a number of conversations with selected contributors:
