Is it just me or is visualizAsian.com just on a roll these days? This time around for their AAPI Empowerment Series they've got Lac Su - and I'm sure that's going to be a great interview and conversation - and remember - you can get in on it free:
Nice.We’ll be speaking with Lac Su, the author of the powerful new memoir, “I Love Yous Are for White People.” Lac Su is an executive for TalentSmart, a global think tank and management consulting firm, in the day time, and a husband, a father, a painter, a photographer, and a writer by night. He was born in Danang-Vietnam, grew up in Los Angeles, and now resides in San Diego. “I Love Yous Are for White People” is his first book—a memoir.
Date: Tuesday, November 17
Time: 6pm Pacific/7pm Mountain
8pm Central/9pm Eastern
Place: Phone or webcast, it’s your choice
The book opens at a breakneck pace with the memories of his family’s escape from Vietnam, and segues into the family’s introduction to life as refugees in Los Angeles. Lac’s father is authoritarian and abusive, and as the years go by, the entire family lives in fear of his temper. The lack of affection and support from his father — the book’s title refers to the idyllic loving families the young Lac saw on American television shows and movies, and at his school friends’ homes — eventually lead Lac into the world of gang thuggery to seek an alternative family acceptance and a sense of belonging. He went on to a magnet high school and on to college, and now has a doctorate. It’s a testament to his strong spirit that he survived the tumult of his early life and then captured it so vividly! This is an inspirational story about succeeding
despite adversity.
