Catrina Lee

Catrina Lee is a Hmong American poet and musician whose work explores cultural identity, queerness, intergenerational trauma, mental health, and resilience. As a queer, masculine-presenting woman, she writes openly about belonging, family expectations, and finding her own voice. Her debut poetry collection, She Who Carries Both Names, reflects the weight of what we inherit and the courage it takes to tell our own stories. Through her poetry, Catrina hopes to help others feel seen and less alone.
