The majority of our storytellers were born in Southeast Asia, weathered through numerous stormy challenges, before eventually reestablished themselves in Minnesota. They have lived in many different parts of the world and assumed many different social and cultural roles. Others, especially the younger generation, were born here in the Midwest or came here at a young age, who struggle at times to find a balance between their Southeast Asian heritage and American lives. A lot of them have difficulties describing their own personal identity when we spoke.\u00a0How they perceive themselves, and how others see them, is indeed a very complicated matter.<\/span><\/p>\n
