My latest essay for 1990 Institute Vol 2 Issue 11, June 3, 2022 asks What will we do for all those little children in Uvalde?
"As an essayist, I have written about mass shootings, racially-motivated shootings, school and church shootings, police violence, worrying about my children and elders, and the senseless loss of innocent lives so many times, as recently as two weeks ago. But this time, words falter. I feel all written out." including data from AAPI-Data

Tuesday May 24, 2022: 6:00pm to 7:00pm
AADL.TV
Long time Ann Arbor writer and educator Frances Kai-Hwa Wang reads from her new book, You Cannot Resist Me When My Hair Is in Braids. With many stories set on the streets and in the cafes of Ann Arbor, this is a mischievous and fierce collection of lyric essays and prose poems deftly navigating the space between cultures, punctuated by wise children, bossy aunties, unreliable suitors, and an uncertain political landscape that is Asian America. With artwork and stories behind the stories, we will discuss the challenges of writing in these political and pandemic times.
This event was originally recorded on April 26th, 2022.

A visit to this market turns up Ramadan decorations and growing Muslim visibility in Michigan | PBS NewsHour
My article for PBS NewsHour
WESTLAND, Mich. – Holidays, festivals and religious observances are a time to decorate one’s home, wear festive clothing and serve special foods, but for years when it comes to Ramadan, finding celebratory items to buy has been a challenge in many parts of the United States – even in places like Michigan with large Muslim populations.“Growing up in America, these types of things were just not available. We weren’t able to have these decors and these celebrations of our heritage and our culture and our religion,” said Fardusee Jaigirdar, co-founder of an all-women-owned collaborative event-planning and décor business.

Long time Ann Arbor writer and educator Frances Kai-Hwa Wang reads from her new book, You Cannot Resist Me When My Hair Is in Braids. With many stories set on the streets and in the cafes of Ann Arbor, this is a mischievous and fierce collection of lyric essays and prose poems deftly navigating the space between cultures, punctuated by wise children, bossy aunties, unreliable suitors, and an uncertain political landscape that is Asian America. With artwork and stories behind the stories, we will discuss the challenges of writing in these political and pandemic times.

Artists Created a Virtual 360° Gallery to Inspire Climate Joy | Earthjustice They're bringing color, form, and story to a call for climate justice. By Maz Ali | May 28, 2021
Some artists do this by paying tribute to eco-cultural norms.
FRANCES KAI-HWA WANG / AAWAA / SOMARTSAn installation by Chinese American artist Frances Kai-Hwa Wang is an homage to aunties who reuse and hand down items often destined for landfills over the course of generations — jars and takeout containers, rubber bands and twist ties, and, of course, plastic bags. “At any auntie’s home, the world comes full circle," Wang wrote.

"In these pieces featuring this lover, Wang uses second person, using “you” to address the reader as the lover. This creates a mystical aura around this lover, allowing the reader to imagine who this “you” is."
