Adriana
Meet one of GIVE IT UP's Hudson Valley participants!
Born and raised in Queens, Adriana Wong has called Los Angeles, Melbourne, London, and now Kingston (NY) home. A community organizer and co-founder of the budding publication Good Neighbor, she has worked as a teacher’s assistant at a school for the visually impaired, a cancer research assistant, a visual effects producer, and a comedian. She credits the past four years in Kingston, and the vibrant community around her, for helping her creatively bloom in ways that she’d never imagined. You can find her on the dance floor, at a swimming hole, or riding her bike around town.
For the GIVE IT UP project, Adriana is reluctantly willing to be persuaded to give up… her NECKLACE. We’ll publish Adriana’s nonfiction narrative about this object in August — at which time we’ll invite you to participate in the effort to persuade her!
