Bamboo Girl

I was looking through my boxes and found Issue 10 of Bamboo Girl. A friend gave me the zine in the year of 2000. I love the zine so much that I kept it close to me.

It was in BG that I saw the advertisement of Helen Zia's book Asian American Dream: The Emergence of an Asian American People. I bought the book & enjoyed it. I also bought four other books that were recommended by the zine.

Also, it was the issue of BG that I saw a picture of Ishle Park. I didn't know who she was then.

Somehow, four years later, Helen Zia & Ishle Park are on my visiting list. How dope is that?

I remember wanting to write a letter to Bamboo Girl to promote my zine. Somehow, I didn't do it.

I don't know whether BG is still in operation. A friend was getting me a subscription of the zine. I'm still waiting patiently.

Bamboo Girl rocks.
