Alana is nineteen years old from San Diego, California. Love, culture, and self awareness are very important to her. She likes to look at things differently, to better understand them from everyone's perspective. Through writing, she is able to express not only herself, but how she sees the world from different points of views. As a young, bisexual Filipino woman she finds that being able to share her perspective is important because it creates a place that media normally would not have for her.
