Where Do Emoji Come From? with New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer 8. Lee

JENNIFER 8. LEE
Have you ever wondered where emoji come from? Gather your team for a virtual talk with New York Times bestselling author Jennifer 8. Lee who, upon discovering there was no dumpling emoji, embarked on a two-year campaign to create one with her friend Yiying Lu. From their efforts sprung Emojination, a grassroots group that wants to make emoji approval an inclusive, representative process. Jennifer will share her quest to create the dumpling emoji (and many more emoji, including a hijab, lobster, and bagel) and maybe even inspire you to submit an emoji proposal.
