Growing up in Việt immigrant households, Anh Thư and Matte saw their families struggle to get by. Anh Thư internalized that asking for help is shameful and bothers the person who was asked. Matte coped by becoming hyper-independent and struggled to accept care. Your relationship with asking for help and receiving care might be more complicated if you are disabled, grew up in an immigrant household, experience poverty, or have any intersections. Explore asking for help with us. Learn to believe that you deserve love and care.

Matte (they/them) is an artist of any medium they can get their hands on. These days, they're drawing a genderqueer comic, building bikes, and running TransFits with Anh Thư. They are a child of a Viet immigrant and an adoptee. They are learning to listen to and live through their body.

Anh Thu (he/him) sees into souls and helps them realize their deepest needs and desires. He has created and led workshops from intro to improv to collar making with laser engravers. He's currently thrift shopping for queer and trans folks' euphoria, making earrings, and building furniture.
