In this eighth episode of Cabana Chats, we bring you a conversation with Hannah Bae, on being a generous community member, fighting the impulse to hoard resources, and the permission to take a break once in a while. And we talk about food a little bit, as well as many of the writers who inspire us.
Hannah Bae is a freelance journalist and nonfiction writer who is at work on a memoir about family estrangement and mental illness. She is the 2020 nonfiction winner of the Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award. She is a 2021 Peter Taylor Fellow for The Kenyon Review Writers Workshops.
Her work has been published in books including “(Don’t) Call Me Crazy: 33 Voices Start the Conversation About Mental Health” (Algonquin Young Readers, 2018) and “The Monocle Travel Guide, Seoul” (food and drinks chapter co-editor/writer, 2018).
She is focused on stories about Korean American culture and identity, and in 2019, several of her essays received nominations for The Pushcart Prize. She was a 2019 Open City fellow in narrative nonfiction at Asian American Writers’ Workshop. Through 2018 and 2019, Hannah served as president of Asian American Journalists Association’s New York chapter, for which she was named AAJA National’s Chapter President of the Year in 2019.
