From Refugee Roots to the Lao Kitchen

Join MOFAD for an evening celebrating Lao food, culture, and history as we host Saeng Douangdara, founder of Saeng’s Kitchen and author of The Lao Kitchen. Saeng will be in conversation with Jujubee, a Lao American drag queen, reality television personality, and recording artist. Together, they will explore the personal journey behind the book, the resilience rooted in Lao refugee stories, and how food can be a joyful expression of one’s truest self.
