y’all love to mock asian nail salon owners so here’s a little background for your dumbasses:

during the vietnam war, many vietnamese refugees came to america, a lot being women and their children. an american actress, tippi hedren, flew to sacramento, ca. to visit a refugee camp. she wanted to meet the women who were living there and figure out ways to support them. many of them had lost their husbands in the war and were now left without an income and many had no knowledge of how to begin to provide for themselves and their children. while there, tippi noticed that many of the women were fascinated with her manicured nails. tippi had gotten the idea to fly her manicurist to the refugee camp to teach the women how to do nails, in hopes of giving these women a way to support themselves and their families. tippi had paid for 20 women from the refugee camp to attend beautician school and help them get their licenses & eventually find jobs. about 51% of manicurists in the u.s. are vietnamese and many of them are direct descendants of these 20 women who were given the chance to go to beautician school at the courtesy of tippi. so next time y’all want to mock and make fun of hardworking nail techs and treat them like shit, just remember that this is all because of the labor and the persistence of their ancestors who came here with nothing.

Another reason California has a high number of Vietnamese nail techs, is because you can take the test in Vietnamese.

As in, you don’t have to be required to test in English to get licensed which makes the transition easier to learn English gradually.

Anti-Asian sentiment is at an all time high while people still demand their nails to be done.

Respect your service provider.

I check in on here every now and then, I hope you're okay and feeling better about yourself. If not, that's okay too. Surgery is a lot to deal with and I'm not sure what surgery you have but I am sure you're as beautiful as ever. I miss you, you're such a genuine person... I hope everything works out.

I’m not sure who this is, but thank you. I’ve just always struggled with my body , and I’m just trying to appreciate this vessel for what it is. I knew after this big change I made, my feelings weren’t going to just go away, they’re just different . And I really appreciate you for calling me genuine , I’m trying 😩

I don’t know anymore.

I’m in this weird limbo. I feel detached from everyone. I don’t know what I want. I don’t know my purpose. I’m depressed and feel lonely. I’m questioning relationships. I feel misunderstood.

And everything just feels unattainable.
