PURPOSE
A Unique Blend of Writing and Entrepreneurship
My intention is to share what I know and my personal experiences, hoping to engage others in thoughtful conversation, learning, and develop a sense of style. I hope you had some time to check out what I have curated for you in my modern vintage and boho-inspired collection. If you find my writing intriguing, I hope you will donate to my Ko-Fi fund.
Who are the Hmong people?
The Hmong Identity
Hmong means "free." The Hmong people are an ethnic minority found in Asia, particularly in China, SE Asia, and the US. Starting from our origin in China, we have migrated due to resources and conflict all over the world. We do not have a country to call our own, but have always sought for the freedom to sustain our culture and customs.
This photo is from a fashion show in Minnesota when I coordinated a lineup of Hmong clothing for the runway. The designer was a Hmong artist from Thailand and her designs fuse traditional ideas and modern cuts together.
SPECIAL FEATURE: HMONG BOHO-INSPIRED COLLECTION
Below, you can find my unique collection that incorporates specially curated vintage pieces and Hmong boho-style clothing & accessories sourced from my friend Lan in Vietnam (read her story here): Entrepreneur & Artisan: Ly Lan.
This collection represents freedom, fire, honesty, beauty, and love because of the array of red shades and dynamic prints. The curated thrifted pieces fall under my theme of modern vintage, while the boho items will brighten up any outfit with their texture and vibrant colors! The accessories will also spruce up your home space! These are one-of-a-kind pieces; there are no duplicates of the Hmong items. Cherish them and wear them for that artisanal sparkle, knowing you helped a Hmong business abroad, or the recycled vintage pieces that help recover Mother Earth.
Thinking about traveling? Head to Vietnam.
Thang's tour guide service is another Hmong business I support. Read my blog on my recent experience there and who Thang is. Feel free to reach out to me to find out more or head to his Facebook page (link in blog post) and how you can have the same experience in Vietnam!
