Voices of Our Diaspora

An invitation from Third Culture Vietnam

What does heritage mean to you?

We’re collecting stories from our diaspora community, stories about home, memory, and the parts of your heritage that live quietly in your voice, your photos, your food, your dreams.

Whether you’ve returned to Vietnam or only carry it in your imagination, your voice matters.

This is not a contest.
It’s not about being “Vietnamese enough.”
It’s about being honest.
It’s about being heard.

If you feel ready to share, a thought, a photo, a voice. We’re here to listen.

Your story may be part of an upcoming short film, voiceover reel, or campaign celebrating our shared path home.

Share Your Story

There’s no one way to tell your story.
You can write it, record a voice memo, or share a photo or video that speaks for itself. Whatever makes you feel safe, start there.

Please send your voice memo to info@thirdculturevietnam.com.

What part of your heritage have you come to appreciate more with time?

(This could be a tradition, a food, a story, a value, a language, or something you're still learning to embrace.)

If your heritage could speak, what would it say to you today?

(Feel free to answer in your own voice, poetic, playful, honest. There’s no wrong answer.)

What memory, object, or tradition reminds you that your heritage is still alive, even when you’re far from home?

(We love seeing or hearing about your most nostalgic items, a photo, dish, poem, place, or even a smell.)

If you could walk through your family’s history, one city, one story at a time, where would you begin, and what would you hope to find?

(Dream freely. Even if you don’t have all the answers, your wonder matters.)

Optional: Write us a short note about your submission

(Who’s in this photo? What does this moment mean to you?)
