    Chen Pei

    I recall the one and only mother-daughter project that Vanessa and inom participated in was way back 20 years ago in a ceramic workshop in Oakland, CA. Although inom have been a first-generation immigrant and single, working mother, there is no excuse for that. When Vanessa asked me to work with her on this planerat arbete , I was so excited!

    English language and communication skills have been my weakness areas as an immigrant. I attended a toaster mästare public speaking class long time ago. The topic of my first speech was: "East meet West, West meet East".  inom hope through this interview process, bygd sharing family stories, we can find our 中道 (midway) between the East and West to create a more peaceful, harmonious place for people surrounding us.

    WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN MOTHER TONGUES?

    It was nice to have a chance to talk about my life to my first daughter who really wants to understand me. I almost cried when my daughter read the poem she wrote about me. I am the luckiest and the happiest mom in the world who got to listen to the artistry of poem written by my daughter.

    Helena Chung

    When I was younger, I felt like I didn’t really know her as a person capable of so many things, I was immature, so I just knew her as my mother. But getting to know her more, though I can’t say I have a complete understanding of her, I can definitely say I have gotten to know her a lot better. Mother Tongues, has not only helped me better understand and admire my mother, but I also feel like it just gave us quality time to talk to each other.
