“It’s a Sunday morning, and about two dozen 20-somethings and middle schoolers are getting together at Asia Services in Action on Akron’s east side. They’re practicing their Hmong names during a class of what’s called Hmong Ohio Of Tomorrow.”
On Monday, Hmong Youth had the opportunity to interview with WKSU, Kent State University’s radio. Nalee Vang and Houaj Chi Vue of Hmong Ohio of Today (HOOT) were among those interviewed.
