Manage episode 457276041 series 2911848
Chris Tran is a teacher and content creator, born in Los Angeles, California, and now based in Vietnam. As a second-generation Vietnamese-American, he blends his heritage and personal experiences to create content about language, culture, and travel.
With a background in education and a passion for storytelling, Chris strives to bridge the world and Vietnam through his educational work, YouTube content, and social media platforms.
In this episode, we dive into the unique challenges of being Vietnamese-American: trying to fit into two worlds that don’t always agree on what “fitting in” looks like, and building a relationship with Vietnam that’s equal parts love and discovery. Chris shares his personal journey of living in Vietnam, embracing his heritage, and learning to extend compassion to the differences that shape us all.
It’s a conversation about empathy. Kenneth and Chris explore the nuances of culture, identity, and what it means to truly belong, all while keeping things real and relatable.

Viet Story Bank
What’s your family’s story worth to you?
Not the shiny ones everyone knows. I mean the buried ones—the secrets, the heartbreaks, the ones that only slipped out after too much Hennessy.
That’s what Vietnam Story Bank is for. No polish. No rewrites. Just raw, beautiful beating history—the kind that makes you sit up and hold your breath. Your dad’s memories of his mother’s wildest dreams. Your grandparents’ laughter that echoes in your bones.
We dig it all up, record it, and hand it back to you—safe, untouchable, and unforgettable.
Because when our stories disappear, they’re gone forever.
Go to vietnamstorybank.com. Make sure your family’s stories never burn out.
