Suey Park (@suey_park) is the 23-year-old freelance writer and organizer behind the hashtag #NotYourAsianSidekick, which quickly became a trending topic on Twitter Monday with thousands of Asian American women and others from around the world adding their 140 characters to the conversation on Asian American feminism.

She said she planned the tweet-up to take place Monday morning with only a handful of close friends who agreed to join her from across the country and was shocked at the thousands of responses that rolled in during the first few hours.
