Growing Up Nguyá»…n
Growing Up Nguyá»…n holds space for the in‑between stories, where family, grief, and tradition meet questions of identity across generations. We explore what it means to carry on our parents’ hopes while forging our own stories in America.
Through conversational episodes, we weave together personal narrative and cultural exploration. We honor grief with honesty, celebrate food as memory, and navigate tradition with nuance—all in pursuit of connection, healing, and the joy of belonging in the hyphen of Vietnamese‑American life.
