Tet Offensive

This Lunar New Year marks 50 years since the Tet Offensive, 1968. 

Not only did the Viet Cong broke a truce that previously gave everyone the chance to celebrate Lunar New Year festivities; this was also a significant turning point of the Vietnam War that affected the overall outcome of the war.

Refugee Week

Cousin, Aunty, myself and Mother 

As a proud daughter of a (former) refugee and in honour of Refugee Week, a big THANK YOU goes out to my mum, aunty and cousin for their bravery in search for a better life. 

They were a part of the mass exodus that resulted in the years after the Fall of Saigon or Fall of South Vietnam. Risked their lives to escape the reunified Vietnam's communist regime by fishing boat to find refuge in a foreign country they knew nothing about and started afresh. 

I wouldn't be here today enjoying the basic human rights that so many people take forgranted if it weren't for them. And a big shoutout to the late Malcolm Fraser for having the compassion big enough to take them in. 

If only we had more compassionate politicians today. 

I stand with refugees. 

Lots o' Love, Linda

This was brilliantly executed by BBDO New York. I won't add any further commentary to this but take a look for yourself if you haven't checked it out already.

Absolutely love this powerful short animation.
