A proud member of the local writing community, she’s part of the Peauxdunque Writers Alliance and has taken many classes at the New Orleans Writers Workshop. Kayla is currently working on a novel about a mother-daughter relationship. 

The Katherine Min Fellowship at MacDowell

My mom was a celebrated fiction writer and essayist. She died in 2019. My uncle Kollin led the way in setting up a fellowship at MacDowell in her name, to elevate the voices of Asian American writers. Each year we have an event celebrating the recipients of the fellowship.

2022 : The 2nd Annual Katherine Min Fellowship Celebration with Alexander Chee, Lisa Ko, and Jessica Shi (and me reading one of Mom’s essays)
2021 : Inaugural Katherine Min Fellowship Celebration with Cathy Park Hong, Marie Myung-Ok Lee, and Victoria Chang (and me reading from Mom’s work – a novel excerpt and an essay)
