My name is Asia Bingaman and I am from southern California. I attended UCLA for my undergrad in African American Studies and graduated in 2019. I moved to Greensboro that same year and completed a term of service in AmeriCorps. Afterward, I started teaching high school at Grimsley High where I teach African American History, American History, and Sociology. When I am not teaching, I enjoy walks around the neighborhood, playing video games, and the company of my cat. At the request of my students, I have recently started watching more anime, in addition to the plethora of movies and tv shows that are already on my list.

Coming to the Duke GLS program, I hope to become a better writer and scholar.
