Third Culture Baby By Kavi Vu

Kavi Vu is a spoken word artist who grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. She recently moved to Saigon to live, and as you can imagine, there have been lots of emotions: equal parts freakishly familiar and painfully foreign. She's been called mất gốc (lost my roots) more times than sje can count, and maybe she is. This next year, she will be writing and sharing her adventure as she knows many of her peers at home cannot have this journey of their own due to political or familial reasons. She hopes that through her stories, others can also feel closer to their que huong.
