Here's an episode with the Blackboard 4 (Jackie, Vicky, Loan, and me) where we talk about having Asian parents and being Asian parents. Hopefully, you can relate and join in the laughter.

*Light trigger warning* We talk about old-fashioned Asian discipline.

Thanks to The Blackboard 4 for helping me all school year long. We'll be back after summer break to break down more topics.

Vicky Nguyen's life arc that goes from a harrowing escape out of Vietnam to the Today show makes her book Boat Baby a real page-turner. I had a really fun chat with Vicky the day after Mother's Day, which I thought was appropriate, since her parents, husband Brian, and 3 daughters play a big part in this journey of a lifetime. As a bonus, we get Vicky's go-to Vietnamese comfort foods and a behind-the-scenes look at creating the most epic Christmas cards.

Go get a copy of Boat Baby wherever you get books; it's a great read! Follow Vicky on Instagram @vickynguyentv or over at https://www.vickynguyen.com/

Want some bonus Amy Tan? Yes please! Just when I thought I was wrapping up our chat with Amy Tan, we got into a deep conversation about life and surviving trauma. I didn't plan most of this and just went wherever Amy wanted to lead the conversation.

*Trigger Warning* We talk about self-harm and assault, please use listener's discretion*

Pictured in this post is Amy's grandmother (on the right). She was 37 when she died by swallowing a ball of opium. Amy published The Joy Luck Club when she was 37. Their two lives are intertwined in ways that can't be explained.

It's been a few weeks, but I'm still riding the high of the conversation we had. If the podcast suddenly ended tomorrow, I feel like I would be ok with what we were able to build and accomplish. Thanks to thoughtful and generous guests like Amy Tan. But, don't worry, we have more Asian and Asian American stories to tell!

It's going to be hard to beat this one! I had huge expectations about speaking with Amy Tan, and let me tell you, Amy gave me more than I could have even hoped for! She is the premier Asian American storyteller for a reason. She had me laughing one minute and contemplating the next.

This is only Part 1, because we ended up chatting for over an hour and a half! What a treat! I'll drop Part 2 next week.

You can listen to this and all our other episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Follow Amy over @amytanwriter and get a copy of The Backyard Bird Chronicles wherever you get your books. Don't forget to support your local independent bookstores!
