Christy Pham was a Viet, SEA Roots Language student in 2024.
"I am from four battered hands that never knew the shade
from nails stained with black dirty and oil changes
from two kids forced to displace themselves.
I am from a family
where stories are shared
where mom's cơm tấm whispers, 'I miss you,'
where the aroma of fish mint embraces me.
I am from a mom and dad that did not know embrace
but always knew love."
