#11 - Live Episode! Nailed It

from The Vietnamese Boat People · host VietnameseBoatPeople.org

In virtually every city, state and strip mall across the U.S., people get their nails done in salons likely owned by Vietnamese entrepreneurs. How did our community come to dominate the $8 billion dollar nail salon industry? Director Adele Free Pham set out to explore the history of Vietnamese nail salons and discovered it all began with 20 Vietnamese refugee women and a chance encounter with famed Alfred Hitchcock actress and humanitarian Tippi Hedren. The "first 20" Vietnamese manicurists sought a way to support their children and families, unknowingly sparking a cultural phenomenon.  https://www.naileditdoc.com Featured Song: “Had to Hustle” by Chuck Free Pham and Track Producer DJ Ananse
