Julia Vu

Julia Vu is a student from Bay Area, California. As a dreamer with imagination more overactive than most, she has always used writing as a way to temporarily escape from reality, to just delve deep into this alternate universe, and to bring the world that exists only in her imagination to life. A survivor of depression and eating disorders, she documents her cycles with decline, relapse, and recovery through her poetry. She has been heavily involved in mental health advocacy through her international advocacy organization, Operation Dopamine. Julia hopes to empower others and embrace the beauty of her own mental illness by sharing the letters she never intended to send.
