PS6 - Kao Kalia Yang's Home on the Page (Powerful Stories #6)

"I am interested in what it takes to be the happy endings that our elders have been waiting for." --Kao Kalia YangAward-winning author Kao Kalia Yang's voice has always been there, even though it wasn't always obvious. But even when she held it in, even when others couldn't hear it, it was there. And before she became a singular speaker (and soft, powerful storyteller), that voice found its home on the page. From her childhood in a refugee camp, to finding her way in the United States, to becoming the most decorated Hmong American writer, to life as a person of color in Minnesota, Kalia's stories are unforgettable."Powerful Stories" is the Minnesota offshoot of SoftPower/FulStories, which uses first-person stories to explore why U.S. engagement in the world matters. Through conversations with diplomats, aid workers, Peace Corps volunteers, authors and artists, influencers, businesspeople, and more, SP/FS highlights how soft power and foreign aid and assistance strengthen America's security, prosperity, and global standing.Episode artwork inspired by SEO KIM, from her cover of Kao Kalia Yang's "Home on the Page."
