 and grew up ashamed by the stigma of being a refugee and struggled with 
 navigating her own Asian American identity. In 2018\, she began to document 
 her family's story and along the way\, discovered that there are many 
 others like her\, trying to piece together the history. Tracey started VBP 
 by publishing her family’s story in Season 1 of the podcast\, and today\, 
 the organization shares stories from other families and individuals through 
 its podcast\, events and programs. \n\n\nPrior to starting VBP\, Tracey has
