Yowei is an audio producer, reporter, and documentarian. Her mission is to produce in-depth, nuanced, and thought-provoking stories about people overlooked by the mainstream media. Through her practice, she seeks to highlight universal truths about the human experience and to make people feel these insights deep down so that they begin to question their assumptions about others and the world. Yowei makes the utmost effort to spotlight voices and perspectives that do not get as much mainstream media attention—namely those of young people, people of color, immigrants, poor people, and other marginalized communities. She also shares her self-taught skills with others.
