The Stories of Children of Immigrants
To celebrate our second Capsule Collection with Very Asian Inc., a leading purpose-led media company that amplifies Asian news, people, and businesses, we interviewed four individuals who are all making an impact in their communities: George Hirose, Tina Snow Le, Caitlin Valentin, and Kyle Lui. We dive deeper into each of their unique experiences as Asian Americans and children of immigrants. We touch on topics that often resonate with our communities like preserving our stories, representation, generational trauma, and immigration especially in today's political climate. Watch the individual interviews below.
About the Very Asian x WE ARE CHIMMI Collection:
This collection is about more than style -- it's a tribute to our parents, our families, and our distinct cultures. In a world that too often tries to silence or erase immigrant stories, our collection is our megaphone. Join us in wearing our pieces as a declaration: our heritage is to be celebrated, not diminished.
This collaboration will also benefit United We Dream as 10% of profits from sales from the capsule collection will be donated to the organization. United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the US, organizes and advocates for the dignity and fair treatment of immigrant youth and families.
