This has nothing to do with writing, publishing, or academia. Yet, this video of a presentation by my dear colleague, Tien Ung, is just too precious not to share.
Community, Place and Identity: Are You at Home in the World? demonstrates the best that my profession, social work, has to offer. Dr. Ung articulates how her own lived experiences as a Vietnamese woman and immigrant have shaped the formation of her professional identity, her alignment with key existential truths, and her deep sense of the importance of service.
She powerfully articulates three existential needs we all possess: the need to be seen; to recognize the goodness in others; and, to belong. Watching this video, I am filled with the beauty of these truths.
