Shortly after the Atlanta spa shootings in 2021—in which eight people lost their lives when a gunman targeted spas where Asian Americans work—writer Elaine Teng and I sat down with 13 Asian American families in the Atlanta area and asked them what “belonging” and the American Dream means to them. Meet Loan Tran and her father, Dung. Loan and her siblings cried for the first few months after their parents moved them from a tight-knit Vietnamese community in Massachusetts to rural Georgia, where her dad runs a chicken farm. Both of her parents fled the Vietnam War. Their responses to our question are below and also seen in their handwritten notes in the following images. Dung Tran: “I have this feeling that no place belongs to me nor to anyone else, whether it be Vietnam or the United States. I only know for certain that I belong to God’s love and will.” Loan Tran: “Belonging to me means having a place in the world and feeling included.” To read more about what belonging means for Asian Americans, head to the link in bio.
