Lunchbox Magazine is Emerson ASIA's (Asian Students in Alliance) premier publication featuring all mediums of art and storytelling by Asian-identifying students. As co-founders and co-editors, it has been an honor to platform the stories of Asian creatives. By doing so, Lunchbox is actively working against the single-story stereotype projected onto Asian people in America.

In Spring 2022, Lunchbox Magazine was awarded the Tom Cooper Spirit of Emerson Award at the Emerson Recognition & Achievement (ERA) Awards, just in time for the release of their Renewal issue and the one-year anniversary of the publication’s creation. Though the award was awarded to cofounders Marieska and Jo, this award belongs to the rest of the Lunchbox staff, the Asian community at Emerson, and those that come before and after their legacy.
