Being a Hmong Feminist has..

really inspired me to enjoy life the way it is and as my many Christian friends say, "Let Go, Let God."

It's been one long ride this whole school year but I've done it. Let's just say I'm glad for it to be done because there hasn't been a day in the year where I'd wish I could just evaporate for a bit and rain hard to come back. So let's talk about some crazy shit that went down this year.

Xue's Break up

Now this was an experience I hope not too many sisters out there feel when a man they've trusted with their hearts leaves them and breaks it. I think the break up made life seem sad because not only did I lose my lover but such a great friend. It was a few weeks until we started to speak again but after he broke up with me, I seriously felt like there was nothing that would fix it. There was nothing to get him back to me but sooner than I thought, Xue wanted us to get back. Although it was only a few weeks, I felt like we would never get back but I seriously made the committment that I would never go back to him because 1)he's hurt my heart so bad 2)he left me during such a hard time in my semester 3)I seriously would've never thought he was the one to let us go because he always urged ME to talk to him and keep our relationship together. The long distance really got the both of us and I don't think I'll ever try it again.

V-DAY @ SCSU

It was by far the craziest and most fun event I've ever done with the Women's Center. It has really inspired me to love my vagina even more and cherish people's experiences. I <3 you JENNA STAMMEN. You are totally gonna be the co-director with me again.

Confessions of a Lazy Hmong Woman

What can I say about May Lee Yang? She's just so awesome. I'm so glad that I got to bring her here to SCSU and have her show FOR FREE!! Yes I made it happen and the Hmong students loved it. They really would like to see her back here at SCSU and maybe this time we can bring Ten Reason I'd be a bad Porn Star. Now that'd be awesome.



These are just the few things that were a lot of work for me outside of school. I feel that school will always be hard but it's worth the time and money for that kind of education. I've learned so much in college and I hope young women and girls continue to pursue higher education because it's more that a degree, it's a lifetime of experiences within 5-6 years.

You'll experience more heart breaks, more laughs, more tears, more of anything you can think of during college because you really learn to let yourself go and really let yourself do what you are made to do. I'm the strong, fierce woman I am today because I've let go of all that and let God in to guide me to where I am. He's led me to places I thought I never would've been if he didn't tell me that I am doing what I'm here to do.
