Young Vo is an author, illustrator, muralist, artist, animator, and Vietnamese refuge. In this episode, Young shares an inspiring story about his mother living in a refugee camp and how important it was that she passed down her values on perseverance, dedication, and ability to always find the bright side of every challenging situation.

In this conversation, we also discuss what it was like to grow up as the “refugee kid”, the true power of storytelling, how to find the best medium to express your story, and Young’s constantly evolving creative journey.
