youtu.be/p-iFl4qhBsE I am proud to be a feminist. I have been since I was little. I didnt understand why the men got to eat first and the women ate the leftovers at Hmong ceremonies and celebrations. I asked my mom, why does it matter if I am a boy or girl? Her reply: its tradition. Well maybe tradition isnt right. I didnt understand why my Dad was so desperate to have a son. He said, because he will carry my name and my legacy. Why cant I keep your name and keep your legacy alive, even if I get married one day? Because you are a GIRL. I see so much gender inequality in the Hmong community. Tradition should be respected but needs to change. Press play to learn more about gender inequality and how it applies to you. It affects everyone.
