Preserve Your Legacy
for Future Generations

For too long, the Vietnamese diaspora has been silenced and misrepresented by outsiders. By sharing your personal story in your own voice, you have the power to reclaim our narrative and shape a more accurate depiction of our complex journeys. By coming together as a collective, we can educate, dismantle misconceptions and stereotypes, foster connections, and drive greater awareness and understanding of our culture, values and experiences.
Our family histories and stories are precious, and over time, they can be forgotten. You can create a lasting legacy for your family and generations to come by contributing. Don't let your story be lost to time - share it today and become a part of our collective history.
If you have questions or ideas for improving the Journeys map please email us at stories@vietnameseboatpeople.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!
