Authors, Joy Ma, Katya Cengel, Sieu Sean Do will discuss their books, and the common thread which unites them, loss of identity and trauma through cultural violence.

Currently, he works for a government agency in California serving victims of consumer fraud. Since 2012, he has worked on a planned two-volume memoir in honor of those who died in the violence and the lives of those who survived in the country he loves. Sieu Sean holds a Master of Humanities from the New College of California. Connect with Sieu Sean Do: Website | Twitter | Facebook  Press- SF Examiner
