Owin Pierson is a Queer Asian-American content creator and mental health advocate whose work bridges the worlds of digital storytelling, cultural identity, and inclusive representation. Drawing on lived experience and academic grounding in psychology and education, Owin brings a thoughtful and deeply personal perspective to the ways media can shape narratives around belonging, resilience, and wellbeing.
Growing up in a biracial household and coming of age within a marginalized faith community, Owin found early on that mainstream spaces often failed to reflect the complexity of his identity. Determined to change this, he began using social media to explore the intersections of mental health, queer identity, and travel—creating content that offers visibility and community to others navigating similar journeys.
Now based between New York and Los Angeles, Owin has built a following of over 300,000 across social platforms, engaging audiences through honest reflections, advocacy, and creative partnerships with global brands. His work has been featured in major outlets including Forbes, Adweek, and Yahoo, and he was recently recognized in a high-profile campaign with OutFront Media and GLAAD in Times Square, promoting LGBTQIA+ joy and inclusion.
Owin is currently working on his debut book, where he shares more intimately about his upbringing, trauma, identity, and how he rebuilt his life after leaving the Unification Church. His content continues to foster connection and encourage open dialogue, making him a compelling voice on mental health, cultural pride, and the evolving landscape of digital influence.
