Shirley Le is a Vietnamese-Australian and author of Interesting Peoples. As a child, Shirley grew up watching politicians on screen promote harmful statements and say things like Australia was “overwhelmed by Asians”. In cities like Yaguna and Bankstown, she didn’t always feel like she belonged. She is often referred to as a “minority,” which further stigmatizes her as an outsider. That’s why she reused the word in the title of her book. “I’m excited to be able to take on the role of storyteller.” Today, she is an important and authentic voice because of a core revolt: She speaks from her community, not for it.
