the journey to self-trust

Many Asian Americans navigate the dueling realities of growing up with immigrant parents while living in American society. How are members of this vast community shaped by experiences that may be universal, but are ultimately specific to personal circumstance? How do they carve out their own identity within the two different cultures? What microaggressions do they face, and what lessons have they had to learn? Before arriving at her present day self, she grew up struggling to identify the difference between her parents’ values and the values presented to her in Western culture and media. Now, experiencing a unique manifestation from her journey of self-discovery, she recognizes the most important value of her identity is her own self-trust.
