A young Hmong woman carries her culture, her family, and her village with her — all the way around the world.

Told entirely in her own voice, Lee in Laos: The Hmong Journey follows Lee Yang's first journey beyond her small village in northern Laos — through Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Bulgaria — as she shares her Hmong way of life with people who have never encountered it, and discovers that perhaps the best way to protect her culture is to share it.

Introducing Lee Yang

Lee is a young woman from northern Laos. Her Hmong heritage, her family, and her faith help define who she is. For the first time, Lee travels beyond her village, sharing her culture with students and discovering a wider world — proudly carrying her identity with her, every step of the way.
