About Banana Magazine
The choice for the name Banana is meant to be an inside joke. For anyone who has ever been called a ‘banana,’ you know that it’s a nickname that has been given to many first-generation Asians growing up in a western world, like us. It’s not meant to be derogatory, but celebratory.
Birthed in Chinatown NYC, Banana is used as a platform to feature, celebrate, and join the conversation with Asian creatives in a journey to define collective identity.
