Kyla-Yến is a queer Vietnamese American writer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They hold a B.A. in Anthropology from Brandeis University and are currently the Communications Manager and Administrative Coordinator at True Costs Initiative.

My writing revolves around themes of dreaming, fantasizing, and futurizing, and focuses on topics of diaspora, transness, ecology, colonialism, capitalism, and intergenerational histories. In my written works, I seek to deconstruct the limitations, borders, and violence of our current realities, and to build instead a world of gentleness, community, and possibility.
