In Jeanette Tran's "Work Search Requirements", a Vietnamese father's quest for work chafes against the myth of the model minority and its expectations. Instead, Tran's piece details the everyday tragedies and challenges of working in America as an immigrant.

In K-Ming Chang's "Life Cycles", a 24-hour laundromat does more than just laundry. The characters, haunted by their karmic debts, hope a better life is just one wash cycle away. Read Chang's humorous and poignant piece about mothers and daughters, and facing your little in life.

In "I try saying a prayer for a Nicu baby," Amber Taylor weaves the anxieties of the NICU with the larger landscape of the Black Lives Matter Uprisings and the difficulty of keeping faith in this spellbinding Flash piece. Intimate and gut-wrenching in equal parts.

This #GivingTuesday, help us reach our goal of $14,000. Apogee is a small magazine that does its best to pay contributors and staff fairly. Building a better world through art is labor. We continue to center voices from the margins, and we can't do it without you.
