Hej, I’m Laura Li.
I’m living my foraging for mushrooms and berries in the forest, eating cinnamon buns from cozy cafes, even more seasonally depressed life in Sweden. I consult with reimagine collective as a campaigns and communications strategist and just finished my Master’s in Political Communications. In 2022, I decided to leave my job of five years at 18 Million Rising, sell my car, and pack up everything to immigrate to Sweden with my dog Lilo to move in with my long distance Swedish partner and go to grad school.
Yes, I’m very much hoping that Nancy Meyers hears my story and decides to make a film about it. In the meantime, you can read all about it here.
What am I signing up for?
Hej Laura is lil’ newsletter on my experiences as an Asian American woman living in Sweden following politics here while working on politics at home in the US. Whenever you get a delivery of Hej Laura in your inbox, it’s sure to be delightful. It’ll be a smörgåsbord on life abroad, capitalism, skincare, pop culture and everything in between.
If you receive the inaugural substack it’s because I really value how you’ve shown up in my life and I want to keep a connection to you while I’m here. And to all the new folks, hi!
