Summarize

Kao Kalia Yang, a former Hmong refugee born in Thailand's Ban Vinai Refugee Camp, is a storyteller who shares the often undocumented experiences of the Hmong people through memoirs, essays, and children's books. Her family's harrowing journey from Laos to Thailand during a genocidal regime shaped her narratives.
