How would your identity be shaped if you had to escape your home country by boat? In this bonus episode, Sarah speaks with fellow podcast host Tracey Nguyen Mang, who fled Vietnam with her family at the age of 3. Her quest to uncover her family’s story became a popular podcast and event series. Vietnamese Boat People features incredible stories of the journeys that were taken by a generation of people that were forced to overcome many life-threatening situations in search of peace, freedom and safety. Tracey shares what she’s learned helping others discover their parents’ immigration stories. She also introduces us to her annual “Story Slams,” an online event featuring Vietnamese voices from around the world.
