Tung Nguyen is the host of the Worksleeve podcast which focuses on Vietnamese-American identity. He was born to refugee parents in South Dakota and currently lives in Colorado. He reached out to me via Instagram to learn more about my story and photo book Other Streets. I appreciate Tung taking an interest in my work and am so happy that it is touching people in such personal and meaningful ways.

Great interview. I bought Mark's book shortly after I met him, along with several other adult Vietnamese adoptees, in NYC . Really appreciate his artistry.
