TEDxWellesleyCollege: Fat, Asian, and Living With an Eating Disorder

On February 25, 2023, I presented a talk at TEDxWellesleyCollege on my experience with eating disorders. This story is deeply personal to me, yet even more important for so many others to hear. It is and will always be an honor and duty to speak on these deadly mental illnesses that continue to ravage populations around the world.

My biography from the official TEDxWellesleyCollege webpage:

Anne Jiang (she/her) is a current senior from Southern California majoring in Economics and Music. Having struggled deeply with her mental health throughout high school and college, she is an outspoken activist for mental health awareness and is passionate about helping those around her succeed in their mental health recovery. Anne is particularly interested in Asian-American narratives of eating disorder recovery and is committed to sharing her story to increase visibility on this intersection. Her academic focus is on post-colonial economic development, and she hopes to work in some capacity in the development or legal fields. Next year, Anne will move abroad to pursue her studies and career in France. Anne lives in the French House at Wellesley College with her beloved cat, Pamplemousse.
