Like many refugees, the library was my day care as a child. Books were my escape from the mundane, from poverty and strict Vietnamese parenting. I read about whole new worlds, forbidden love, and how life can be both a journey and a lesson if you let it take you places. The Outsiders was one of my favorite coming-of-age on the “wrong-side-of-the tracks” books. Fast forward to the launch of @thaohaphd ‘s book, Love Letters to the Dirty South, last week at @the.wuum - a sacred, serene space filled with books where we experienced a conversation between Thao and @thelawestsider that brought us to tears, as well as, eruptions of laughter. From gun shots to God, stories of incarceration, family bonds, heartbreak, and of course…Thao’s epic love story…we were mesmerized. The night ended with a custom song with excerpts from the book in both English and Vietnamese and a SOLD OUT book signing. I’m so honored to have been part of this special evening and am grateful for everyone who came through. Follow @thaohaphd to get a copy of her book or attend her events. We have another celebration on 10/24 at the iconic Asian Garden Mall - see you there in your 90s 💃🏻🕺🏻Throwback fit!!!

So excited to share this beautiful illustration of yours truly by the lovely and talented artist, Karen Koh @the_illustrienne
I will be joining @shareyourasianstory @sandrahsuart @beck_lines @mistermkan on IG Live this Sunday 4pm PDT to share a piece of my own journey thus far as an Asian American immigrant child. I am humbled by this invite, I am so not worthy. But this is exactly what this sisterhood is about 💛🙏🏼 Thank you for pushing me to do this.

HAPPY FRIDAY friends!!

To belong as an #American but not lost as an #Asian.
A constant pressure to meet both different expectations.
Too Asian. Not Asian enough. Too American. Not American enough.

Finding yourself and your identity can be a struggle to define as a first gen immigrant kid but if you go back to your roots, as painful as it can be, you may feel a chance to unlearn and even maybe discover you can be enlightened and proud of the unique experience that was given to you.

After all, it carried you HERE and NOW.
