Helen Zia is an author, activist, Fulbright Scholar and has been outspoken on issues ranging from human rights to countering gender and hate violence and homophobia. Her book, Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People, chronicles the intersectional connections of race, gender and orientation, class and social justice in contemporary America and is taught in schools globally.

A longtime journalist, Helen was Executive Editor of Ms. Magazine, where her award-winning investigation of date rape at the University of Michigan led to protests and a review of its policies; her reporting on neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations exposed the relationship between race and gender in hate groups.

Helen’s leadership in the movement against anti-Asian violence is documented in the Oscar-nominated film, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" In 2023, Helen founded the Vincent Chin Institute to build solidarity against all forms of bigotry and anti-Asian racism, including gender violence and homophobia. API-GBV has been a valued partner of VCI since its founding.

A graduate of Princeton University’s first coeducational class with women, Helen quit medical school to work as a construction laborer, an autoworker, and a community organizer, until she discovered her life’s work as a journalist and writer. @HelenZiaReal (FB, IG); www.HelenZia.com
