In this episode of ShopTalk360 - my guest and dear sister Ri Chan, author of 'Stories From Grand Street Journey' shares this fiction collection of an immigrant family's struggles growing up in Chinatown, NYC. So true to my upbringing and a vital read for folks to get a glimpse of the immigrant experience. These stories magnifies both life's little joys and heart wrenching moments as seen through the eyes of this young protagonist. A heartwarming and tender read to the end - especially during these times we all call for peace, inclusion and racial equity.
