Description
Scope/Content: Bryan Thao Worra was born in Vientiane, Laos and was then adopted by a pilot for Lao Airlines and lived in America during his childhood. During his years in college, he left for a period of time to go to Washington D.C. to work in Southeast Asian Refugee Resettlement. When he grew older, he looked for his birth parents, which brought him on a long journey through America and into Laos. Through poetry, Bryan expresses his mix of emotions between his Lao origins and his American upbringing. He encourages future generations to be proud of Lao culture and explore the different possibilities and ways of being Lao.
