Growing up, 1.5 gen children acted as the bridge between their immigrant parents and their new home. Asia Moua did this often as a child, but as life went on, it got more complicated — and so did translating for her parents.

SEAD gathered stories from 1.5 and their descendants on themes of love, labor, and boundaries. Read more about the generation that's in-between, toeing the line of too-American and not American enough, while forging their own, unprecedented path.

Tia Dang's earliest memory of Vietnam is shades of gray: gray skies, from which gray rain fell, on the top of their church made of concrete, where she and her nephew struggled to stay warm.

As a Northsider it’s so maddening to have to search high and low for news about my neighborhood. And yet one shooting in Uptown and it’s plastered everywhere.
A murdered 17-year-old is newsworthy.

If you needed another reminder, Lao community, that police are not here to keep us safe.

John Balcerzak was one of the two police officers who were called to investigate the 911 call about a drugged, bleeding 14 year old Laotian immigrant who escaped from Jeffery Dahmer. The policemen made gay jokes and left. The boy was raped, killed, and dismembered that night.
