- Mental healthcare is a pressing issue in the API community. Reflecting on my own family and friends' shared experiences in suppressing any visible signs of weakness or abnormality, this doesn't come as a surprise to me. A lifetime of that can wreak havoc on your brain and its health.
Any Vietnamese woman over the age of 50 must love and adore me, showering me with gifts of fruit and lunches (see evidence, right) because I either remind them of one of their grandchildren or of themselves as a younger woman. Needless to say, I can't complain.- VNCOC has one of the only court-approved counseling services available to Vietnamese domestic violence victims and perpetrators
- People are often averse to change. This is dangerous and can be harmful towards any organization's growth.
- Our CEO was a former LEAP/LIA intern.
- VNCOC would like me to help plan a fundraising gala for them.
- The Vietnamese here are cutthroat businessmen & women. How else do they manage to sell a bowl of pho for 50% off?!
- The Vietnamese and Mexican communities here used to have a lot of tension between them, but they have been working together and forming alliances to serve their communities needs.
- My bosslady has a lot more in common with me than I though. Her best friend is Cambodian (many of my close friends are too). She enjoys Mexican food, and even took me on a hunt for guacamole for lunch yesterday.
