nguyencoffeesupply

great question - in this reddit ama, i've only answered 1 question from 1 person that I actually know - and it was the very first one - because we had just gotten started and there was no one else in the room, so he kicked it off.

this is a company-hosted reddit ama, as reddit charges us a fee to be here. so yes, in that sense it's business showcase. the handle name is nguyencoffeesupply. it is also a genuine conversation because i've been answering as many questions as i can from everyone else in this thread. once the questions started flowing in from everyone else, i noticed there was a question from someone i knew (we all have friends who come in to support) and i skipped that question because i wanted to move on to questions from people i don't know.

sadly - i answered a question from someone under the name of "linda nguyen" - whom i did not know at all. but some trolls here bullied linda because we have the same last name, and assumed that we knew each other, when we didn't. then linda deleted the question. sad - they felt silenced.

i will continue answering other questions about coffee now.

Thank you for the advice - I'll consider this. However, the questions come in and I start replying right away, I don't really check the accounts and their history. We promote our reddit AMA to our community via social media and our email list, and it's very possible that some of them make an account or dust off an old one to engage with me. Thanks for understanding.

LOL, this 1000% relatable. Always 2 on deck.

Hi Project Shamrock! Great question about exploring the richness and diversity of Vietnamese culture!

Totally agree that food and beverage are easy access points into our culture, and, yes, there's so much more to appreciate!

For starters, Vietnamese music is AMAZING. You won't need to understand all the lyrics to feel the emotion of the song. Vietnamese music is very poetic, romantic and deep. I would start with some icons like Ngoc Lan and Khanh Ly. As a former painter, Vietnamese lacquer paintings are one of my favorite genres of art -- the colors, style and method are unlike any painting I grew up seeing in art museums here. In terms of films, my first rec is "A Village Called Versailles" which will offer one perspective into the painfully powerful Vietnamese American experience, post Katrina.
