Bio
I am a single mother of teen son and two cats enjoying everything that New Orleans has to offer, even after 15 yrs. I’ve led a nomadic art- inspired life which had me living in seven states after immigrating from Vietnam.

My April Playlist
I am always in search of new music. I enjoy a wide range of music genres and am always in the mood to move or be moved. Music accompanies me every moment possible: while I walk, shop, exercise, work, cook, drive, sleep, meditate, and while creating art. It helps me to focus, to elevate and shape my mood, to relax, and to recall defining moments of my life.

Ode to My Mother
My mother, Kim-Dinh Vu, is 70 this year. We, my three siblings and I, were able to finally move her into a senior home early this year. We have determined from a recent shocking event, as how it usually happens, that she has dementia. One day, I received an email from my youngest brother who is mostly responsible for her day-to-day existence, informing us that my mother was in the hospital, detained overnight for tests and her own safety. The local police had found her on the side of a highway having not bathed nor eaten in days headed to North Carolina in a rental car from Virginia.
