ผู้เขียน: Zed Zha

Zed Zha is a first-generation immigrant from China and an important voice for change in the AAPI space. A board-certified family physician, Zed actively engages in teaching and research, and her prolific professional writing about patient care with dignity, reproductive autonomy, and social and medical justice has made her a recognized name in Chinese American, immigrant, and advocacy circles. Zed’s medical career and patient advocacy for people of color has garnered her a following on social media, but so has her personal writing. As a Chinese American, she is passionate about telling stories about ancestry and traditions. In November 2023, she was selected as one of the five storytellers by the Nocturnists and Bellevue Literary Review for a live storytelling show in the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater, New York City, which will be included in a podcast and documentary film. Her introspective, vulnerable, and humorous style of narrative nonfiction shines in her original Tai Nai Nai (“great-grandmother”) story, on which her first children’s book is based.
