Her children are multi-cultural, and they embrace their Eastern European and Asian culture. They don’t see themselves as ½ of anything – they are full human beings and global citizens. Vivian also reads a note to her daughter:
Your grandparents and I came to this country in pursuit of opportunities.
You embody our hopes and dreams.
As your life unfolds before you, hear my voice to guide you…
Never lose the sparkle in your eye or the fire in your heart.
Surround yourself with people who spark joy.
Be kind.
Always be curious.
Don’t take things personally.

Your voice matters.
You are enough.
