 Diaspora

Spring/Summer 2020

Diaspora is a narrative collection inspired by the events of the Secret War in Laos. This collection tells a story of two Hmong lovers and the Hmong people's refugee journey to the United States during the 1970s-1990s. The Hmong and Hmong Americans will keep our history alive and remember those who were lost along the way to our new home. A portion of the Diaspora collection was featured for HMSA’s “Our Ancestors Dreams Live Through Us” event in 2021.
