Original Words and Reader: Nancy Xiong

Thaum koj saib kuv ob lub qhov muag
When you look into my eyes
Thaum koj saib kuv daim di ncauj
When you look at my lips
Thaum koj saib txhua yam
When you look at everything
Thaum koj siv sijhawm hu tuaj
When you call
Thaum koj xav hnov kuv lub suab
When you want to hear my voice
Thov paub hais tias
Please know

Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais muaj nuj nqis
I'm a woman of worth
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais muaj siab muaj ntsws
I'm a woman who has thoughts and feelings
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais xav tau lus zoo
I'm a woman who wants to hear positive words
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais xav tau kev kaj siab
I'm a woman who wants happiness
Vim kuv zoo tshaj ib lub ntsej muag zoo nkauj
Because, I'm more than a beautiful face

Thaum koj xav txog kuv thiab koj ua ke
When you think of you and me together
Thaum koj xav tau kuv los ua koj li
When you want me to be yours
Thaum koj xav txog kuv
When you think of me
Thaum koj yuav ntxias kom tau kuv xwb
When you flirt to get my attention
Thaum koj yuav los hais lus qab zib
When you speak of sweet words
Nco ntsoov hais tias
Please remember...

Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais muaj nuj nqis
I'm a woman of worth
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais muaj siab muaj ntsws
I'm a woman who has thoughts and feelings
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais xav tau lus zoo
I'm a woman who wants to hear positive words
Kuv yog ib tug ntxhais xav tau kev kaj siab
I'm a woman who wants happiness
Vim kuv zoo tshaj ib lub ntsej muag zoo nkauj
Because, I'm more than a beautiful face

Episode 3 Hmong American Identity And Beyond

Sketches of the Heart (SOTH) are personal essays, stories, writings and memories that have been sketched deep in my heart that I want to share with the world especially my siblings, friends, women of color, and children of immigrant parents. The sketches will reveal my thoughts as a child of war refugee parents, first-generation to attend college, a Hmong-American woman, a higher education educator, and an advocate for a world free of violence.

I hope these experiences will resonate and offer a ray of hope and inspiration.  I also hope my stories will offer clarity and pushes you toward beginnings and conclusions of your own so you can live authentically.
