Anh-Hoa Thi Nguyen shared this poignant statement following her spoken word piece titled "In Her Blood There Are Mountains:"
If we don’t come together, if we don’t tell our stories, if we don’t open our hearts, and if we don’t love and care for each other, we’ll never move forward as a country. We have to remember how much we’re connected, and how much we still have to learn.
