This is a story of a young Vietnamese woman who was inspired to make a difference for victims of the tsunami and katrina disasters. This article was published in the Feb/March issue of Audrey Magazine.
Dad threw my innocence into the furnace when he accused me of telling some kid at school that I had raped my sister. I was too young at the time to fully appreciate his accusation. He had to explain to me that rape was when a man forces a woman to have sex with him. Never mind that my comprehension of intercourse was more meager than my understanding of rape. For all intents and purposes, I was conveniently found guilty of doing the unthinkable.

That was the last straw. I still remember the deed to this day: my roommate woke up from one of his alcohol-soaked naps, casually picked up the waste basket and puked into it a couple times. I was at my desk writing a paper when I observed this casual atrocity. It was both amusing and horrific at the same time. After a few minutes, though, it wasn’t amusing at all when the putrid, acrid smell began to waft around the room. Seeing that this roommate of mine wasn’t going to do anything about it, I held my breath and promptly took the waste basket out of the room, down the hallway and into the laundry room. I dumped its liquidy contents into the big plastic garbage bin and rinsed out the waste basket in the basin next to the washing machine.

For many Vietnamese, “boat people” is not just a
catchy term but a deeply personal reminder of our
history. It is used to define the second wave of
Vietnamese refugees after the war—a mass exodus of
people out of Vietnam in the months leading up to and
years after 1975.
