Welcome to Following the Thread
Join me as I follow the thread of my obsessions wherever it may lead—towards art, crafts, identity, family, memory, ritual, new parenthood, and more.
My name is Mia Nakaji Monnier, and I’m a mixed-race Japanese American writer in Los Angeles. My essays and journalism have appeared in BuzzFeed News, Los Angeles Review of Books, KCET Artbound, and the book This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community, and Connection by Jen Hewett. You can find more of my work here.
