Mother, Métis, Memory is a documentary film by Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn, whose practice is fueled by research and a commitment to communities that have faced traumas caused by colonialism, war, and displacement. Through his continuous attempts to engage with vanishing or vanquished historical memory, Tuấn investigates the erasures that the colonial project has brought to bear on certain parts of the world. Mother, Métis, Memory is a documentary that captures interviews conducted in 2018 with the Senegalese-Vietnamese communities in Dakar and Malika Senegal. Throughout the First Indochina War, between 1945-1954, France had mobilized an estimated 60,000 tirailleurs in Vietnam. Tirailleurs, or Senegalese soldiers, were a corps of colonial infantry in the French Army and among the forces deployed to Indochina to combat the Vietnamese uprising against French rule. After the beginning of the end of the French Empire, hundreds of Vietnamese women and their children migrated to West Africa with Senegalese husbands, some voluntarily but others against their will. Some soldiers left their wives and took only their children, while others took children not their own and raised them in Senegal without connection to their Vietnamese origins.  This interview was part of a film screening event hosted by Vietnamese Boat People and Co-sponsored by Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University during Tuấn's first USA solo exhibition Radiant Remembrance opened on June 29, 2023 at the New Museum 235 Bowery in New York City.  Photo: Taken from Mother, Métis, Memory Episode Credits: Executive Producer: Tracey Nguyễn Mang Associate Producer: Saoli Nguyen VBP Theme Music: Clarity, Paulina Vo Other Music: Na, SILLABA; Lysithea, CANDELION

One woman's hope to encourage others to break their silence and share their stories. Lea Tran's journey to freedom didn't end when she left VietNam and arrived in the United States in 1980 as one of many Boat People refugees. She was an adolescent girl stuck between two cultures and continents for many decades. Although Lea was free from tyranny and oppression, the emotional bonds of guilt and responsibility kept her from being truly free. After forty years, Lea learns that freedom is not only a place but also a state of mind and inner peace. By sharing her memoir "I Did Not Miss the Boat," she chooses to step out of the victim mindset to live an empowered, authentic life. Lea believes everyone has a story, a life lesson we can learn from. "Extracting from her multi-faceted cultural and life experiences, Lea motivates her audience to bridge the gaps of cultural differences, to take action to break the mold of generational suffering, and to create their own opportunity to speak their voice, live their truth."Connect with Jenny and Dan:Website: www.muscatellministries.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/jennymuscatellFacebook: www.facebook.com/JenMuscatellYoutube: www.youtube.com/channel/UChqkdrquJOuZMPRsCszwEqgLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jennymuscatell/Twitter: twitter.com/JennyMuscatellBuy the Book: The Journey of Faith and an Open HeartConnect with Lea:Website: leatran.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/LeaTranSpeakerAndCoachInstagram: www.instagram.com/ididnotmisstheboatYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LeaTranSpeakerAndCoachBuy the Book: I Did Not Miss the Boat

Siblings Hương, Karin Hạnh, Hedda Hiếu, and Benjamin Hoàng Nguyễn grew up together in the San Francisco Bay Area in a boisterous Vietnamese American family. In 2019, their father, Nguyễn Khánh Hưng, a first-generation immigrant from Việt Nam, passed away.

"Confused and concerned while tightly holding onto my father's arm, I was an eight-year-old boy split up from my family to be placed on a small fishing boat sitting closely with twenty-five other people. After five days of no food, the entire boat was ready to succumb to the treacherous sea. The pounding of the waves onto the sides of the boat with splashes of the salt water onto my face and the darkness of the night brought chills to my bones. Life at sea was a torturing death sentence.On the boat, we all had one mission and that was to find freedom..."With a deep and insightful combination of optimism, hope, courage, and gratitude, Len Tran, author of Split Up by the Sea, discusses his memoir and shares some of the incredible lessons he learned through his treacherous experience and the importance of staying the course."If we want to move forward, we've got to make a decision." Len Tran is a professional speaker, author, and a martial artist. Len continues to strive and push his own limits while inspiring others not to let go of their inner drive.  As a martial artist for more than thirty-five years, he trains himself and his students to become better than who they were.  With the right focus and discipline, staying the course simply means success is waiting at the other end.  He received a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering and has worked more than twenty years professionally in the engineering intellectual property field.Len Tran: Split up by the Sea | That's the #TruthConnect with Daniel and Jenny:Website:https: //www.muscatellministries.com/Website:https: //www.jennymuscatell.com/Insta:https: //www.instagram.com/jennymuscatell/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenMuscatellPodcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1737272Connect with Len:https://www.lenvtran.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lenvtran/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/len.tran.7106Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/len-tran/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kinetic_mind

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Nishah Dennison. Nishah was born in Adelaide, Australia, and moved to Cambridge UK, at the age of five. Her parents were entrepreneurs, which was unusual back then. They had a thriving business and strong work ethic. Nishah was a child of mixed marriage (mother Thai, father English) at a time where being different was unusual and the term ‘half-cast' was used. She was raised Buddhist, her parents had met each other at the Cambridge Buddhist Society, a group her father set up. “On Christmas day we would meditate, and most days began with morning chanting as a routine. As a family we did things like set fish free in a local river to accrue collective good karma. Around 1997 we adopted a Vietnamese family during the Vietnamese Boat People crisis, enabling them to eventually set up their own business. This spiritual upbringing impacted me and I am grateful for this influence. However, I found my own spiritual path, becoming a meditation teacher (kundalini) and energy healer as an adult”. In this episode we discuss psychotherapy, art, energy work, deep connection, synchronicities and gratitude.

The stories we share on Vietnamese Boat People are often harrowing tales of people surviving adversities and finding strength and resilience to move forward. Diving into their family histories and trauma, our interviewees can all be described as brave and introspective. And the same can also be said about our listeners. Over the years, listeners have reached out to us sharing how the podcast has given them a newfound connection with the culture. Our desire to bring people together to share stories and experiences, along with inspiration from podcasting colleagues Self Evident and PRX, led us to organize the first VBP listening party (kinda like a book club!).  Several members of the VBP team met up virtually to listen to and discuss episode 31: The Escape. It was our first time doing this as a group, and the experience was recorded in order to serve as a guide for anyone who wishes to do something similar. Our conversation became a deep dive into one of the most intricate stories we've featured, as well as a behind-the-scenes discussion about how the episode came together. We hope this inspires you to host your own listening party with students, communities or just with friends and families.   Featuring: Tracey Nguyen Mang, Saoli Nguyen, Matt Young, Bella Nguyen, Anthony Nguyen, and Brandon Nguyen The video version of this episode can be found on the VBP YouTube channel and on our videocast page.

This week, we look at Vietnamese ‘boat people' and the Boliano 52 – a group of refugees left without aid in the South China Sea. Disclaimer: This episode was recorded prior to the announcement in December 2021 of an amendment to the Nationality and Borders Bill to provide the RNLI with legal protection in the case of rescuing refugees at sea. However, we feel the sentiments expressed in this episode surrounding the bill still merit inclusion.

Breaking Barriers Through Conversations: The Making of the Vietnamese Boat People Podcast. Bonus Episode, Seven Million Bikes: a Saigon-based podcast hosted by Niall Mackay, originally from Scotland, who now lives in Saigon. The podcast shares experiences of people from all walks of life, who have a love and deep connection to Vietnam.  Tracey Nguyen Mang, the founder and creator of the Vietnamese Boat People, chats with Niall about her family's background from Vietnam to America. She came to America as a refugee, only 3 years old at the time, and the youngest of seven children. After a modest and humble start in America, Tracey built a successful career in the corporate world, but she realized that while providing more for her children than she ever had, she was distancing them from the values that she had been brought up with. As Tracey became a mother, she wanted to know more about her history so she could share it with her children. So she bought a microphone, and sat with her parents and older siblings to record what they remembered.  The stories enthralled her as she learned untold details of her family's escape. In this episode Tracey shares how 20 hours of family recordings led to the creation of the Vietnamese Boat People Podcast.  For the full conversation between Niall and Tracey, visit Seven Million Bikes Podcast.

Join The Community!We recently talked to Tracey Nguyen Mang from the Vietnamese Boat People podcast, listen here. This is a special PodSwap Episode of A Vietnam Podcast where we share Tracey's family story in the first ever episode of the Vietnamese Boat People podcast.The Vietnamese Boat People podcast shares stories of hope, survival and resilience. Between 1975 to 1992, almost two million Vietnamese risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War, in one of the largest mass exoduses in modern history. Escaping by boat, many found freedom in foreign land, many were captured and brutally punished, and many did not survive the journey. This population of people are known as the ‘Vietnamese Boat People‘.We've been fortunate enough to share the stories of Vietnamese Boat People and their children. These are often traumatic yet inspiring and we recommend listening to previous episodes from many of our guests from Tracey Nguyen, Tam Le and Sahra Nguyen in the US, Zoonie Nguyen in Canada to Nhi Mai from Switzerland and Levi Oi from Germany.

I was just under four years old when my Mom organized an escaped from the Vietnamese Communist regime in 1981. With nothing but clothes on our backs, she left everything behind and took three girls under the age of 10, deep into the jungle in the middle of the night, and eventually out into the treacherous seas. Thirty-seven years later, I'm on a mission to document every part of that escape and the events and turmoil that led my family and many others to choose the possibility of death if it meant freedom and safety on the other side.Join the Seven Million Bikes Community for exclusive member benefits AND a FREE 6-pack of Fuzzy Logic Craft Lager or the award-winning Thunderslap IPA.

My name is Tracey Nguyen Mang, I am the creator of the Vietnamese Boat People podcast. I was born Nguyen Quan Truong-Anh, the youngest of seven children, in Nha Trang Vietnam. When I was only one, my father and oldest brother fled our country by boat. After that, my three older brothers escaped, and in 1981, my mother braved the journey with three girls under the age of 10. Three separate escapes, three different refugee camps and three years later, reunited in America as one family. This statement oversimplifies the journey. But the story of how we got here, is anything but simple. Join me in documenting the incredible stories of hundreds of thousands of other Vietnamese Boat People. Subscribe to the show and visit www.vietnameseboatpeople.org

An event has taken place marking the 40th anniversary of a rescue which saw 99 Vietnamese refugees plucked from a stricken boat by Australian naval forces off the coast of Vietnam.

Bonus Episode, Self-Evident: How Do Stories Change Lives?  The impact of storytelling is often portrayed as a story changing the life of the person consuming it — and changing the world by reaching as many people as possible. But what about the person who offers their story to be consumed? How else can we define the value of our life's stories, and the importance of how they're shared? In this second episode of a three-part series, Managing Producer James Boo invites Randy Kim (Host of the Banh Mi Chronicles) and Tracey Nguyen Mang (Host of The Vietnamese Boat People) to dig deep and get personal about how they've seen participation in storytelling change the life of one person at a time.

The impact of storytelling is often portrayed as a story changing the life of the person consuming it — and changing the world by reaching as many people as possible. But what about the person who offers their story to be consumed? How else can we define the value of our life’s stories, and the importance of how they’re shared? In this second episode of a three-part series, Managing Producer James Boo invites Randy Kim (Host of the Banh Mi Chronicles) and Tracey Nguyen Mang (Host of The Vietnamese Boat People) to dig deep and get personal about how they’ve seen participation in storytelling change the life of one person at a time. Our team decided to host these conversations because in the U.S. it’s once again Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time that can often feel routine and repetitive. And during a year when absolutely nothing has been routine, we hope these episodes will join many other podcasts, panels, and events in diving beneath the surface of representation, diversity, and inclusion.

Julie McConnell sits down with Julia Ha and Tammy Tran from Project Yellow Dress (PYD) to talk about how underrepresented communities are gaining visibility through self-expressed artistic mediums. We start the podcast getting to know the two PYD founders who talk about their family history (fun fact: they are second cousins). Their family experienced a double diaspora having to escape China and Vietnam because of warfare, and as a result, have traveled to many different countries in search of a new place to call home. We move on to hear about the lightbulb moment when a children's book on the Holocaust inspired them to start PYD. Recognizing how taking ownership of one's history is so crucial for communities who are often overlooked in history textbooks and mainstream media, they created PYD as a platform to encourage silenced individuals to share their stories through whatever medium they desire. This is a community of people who are flipping the script as they do advocacy in their own way. Yes, Asians can be artists. They can be whoever they want to be. It is so important for them to be able to feel like the protagonist of their story, to celebrate the fact that they are a refugee or a child of a refugee, especially in today's political climate. We close out the podcast with takeaways that touch upon an increasing need for ethnic studies courses. Because learning about people’s history helps us understand one another and ourselves, it is so important to recognize how and where ethnic studies is being taught and improve on that. "Know history, know self. No history, no self." Project Yellow Dress is a storytelling platform that is dedicated to sharing and highlighting the histories, experiences, and voices of the Southeast Asian diaspora.

Summary by Joanne Nguyen

The Vietnamese Boat People were a series of refugees that fled Communist Vietnam in a mass exodus occurring in 1954, and again from 1975-1992. In 1954, the Northern Vietnamese fled to Southern Vietnam to escape the corrupt and violent Viet Minh regime. Under the Viet Minh, anyone deemed an enemy was prosecuted under the full extent of the law: this included Catholics, intellectuals, landowners, and generally anyone that disobeyed the regime.

In recent years, images of refugees fleeing from war torn regions have made a deep imprint on our collective consciousness, and debate surrounding sustainable immigration is one which has been ongoing for many years - not just since the European Refugee Crisis back in 2015. In fact this year marks the 40th anniversary of the arrival of 200 of the so-called Vietnamese ‘Boat People’ in Ireland, fleeing from the ravages of war in their home country. In a time when the Irish were more accustomed to emigration than immigration, this were a somewhat curious spectacle, but what happened to them? Donal Fallon joins Gavan for another episode of Hidden Histories.

VBP Student Spotlight: Tuan Pham, a graduate student from Yale School of Art, talks about living in a liminal space as an immigrant in America. As a child transitioning and navigating the ‘unknown’ he was constantly trying to bridge the ‘what was’ and ‘what next’. An introspective journey over the years from rediscovering Vietnam and himself, to studying Vietnamese artists, has enabled him to appreciate that ambiguity can give you the freedom to explore and create. And how that inspired his winning logo design for the Vietnamese Boat People which portrays the arduous journeys and the stories of the human spirit.  

Episode 2 of A series of four episodes from victims and witnesses about the last day of the Vietnam War, While the first episode is a story from Ha Cong Hong, a dentist who lives in Sydney is a connection between the memorial on the Horror Highway to the last days of the South of Vietnam when he and his family fled his hometown in Quang Tri to Danang finding their way to escape the Viet Cong and North invaders, this episode is a story told by Van who witneses her mother had been abducted by the Thai pirates on the trip by boat fleeing Vietnam in 1981. - Có những ký ức thật khó khi đối diện vì nó buộc người ta phải sống lại nỗi đau một lần nữa. Và cái điều khó khăn nhất khiến cho ký ức đau thương khó có thể được kể lại chính là nỗi sợ nhìn thấy sự thương cảm trong mắt người khác. Vì nó đóng đinh nạn nhân vào nỗi đau, và nhắc họ về biến cố buồn thảm đó. Đó là một trong những lý do khiến rất nhiều câu chuyện buồn thảm của người Việt - những nạn nhân trực tiếp hay gián tiếp của cái gọi là thống nhất đất nước đã không được kể lại. Mỗi mẫu ký ức Việt của thế hệ nạn nhân cộng sản là một mẫu lịch sử thật. Ký Ức tháng Tư kỳ 2 của loạt bốn kỳ kỳ này: Chuyện của Vân - kể về chuyến đi định mệnh năm cô 6 tuổi chứng kiến mẹ và một người thân khác bị hải tặc bắt đi.

Canada accepts immigration of 50,000 Vietnamese “boat people.” Two years after the Vietnam war ended, the country’s communist government began stripping the rights of its ethnic Chinese citizens. Hundreds of thousands of them fled any way they could. Those who traveled by boat often landed on the shores of China and other Southeast Asian countries. International pressure mounted for Western countries to admit more of these “boat people,” prompting Canadians to apply pressure on their own leaders. On July 18, 1979, Prime Minister Joe Clark’s Progressive Conservative government announced that Canada would accept 50,000 of these refugees by the end of 1980. In the end, more than 60,000 were allowed to make Canada their new home. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

My good friend Trang Huynh comes on the show to tell her story of fleeing Vietnam in the 80s. In the face of death, not only did she find freedom but she found something unexpected as well. Humanity. 

In late 1978, huge numbers of refugees began fleeing Vietnam, trying to escape the country's repressive communist government. Many of the refugees took to sea in flimsy boats at huge risk. Diep Quan and her family were rescued from their sinking vessel by a British merchant ship and were among the first Vietnamese refugees to arrive in Britain. In January 1979, her family were given the keys to a new home in the English city of Peterborough. Diep tells Witness about her journey to Britain as a nine year old and the challenges of adapting to a new life in the UK. (Photo: Several boatloads of refugees reach Hong Kong waters in 1979.
