AGE: N/A | FROM: N/A | FEATURED IN: ISSUE #8

My mother was born in Vietnam. She struggled a great deal for she was a child of the war at the time. She met my father, who is Puerto Rican, African, and Irish, at a little cafe in Saigon. Shortly after, they traveled to America. My Mother spoke very few words of English and my father spoke very few words of Vietnamese but some how it was love at first site at the time. Im truly blessed to have parents that have so much culture within them and to hear the stories behind them are such an honor for me. Their struggle with racism in America, within our family, and for myself being raised in downtown LA and getting it myself from all ends has made me a strong individual and I see people for whom they are and not what they are.
