Yeena Yoon on the connection between Community-Based Learning (CBL) and NOON Magazine:
"Through the CBL class and my research on radical Asian-American poetry, I learned about the building blocks of community, its impact on the individual and the collective, and the power of a platform that stitches individual voices together. NOON Magazine was directly inspired by these experiences, and was created from a desire to understand how racial identity, representation, and cultural preservation impacted others, a desire to build a community around questions rather than answers." –Yeena Yoon
