Based in Houston, Texas, Dr. Jenny draws on her own “1.5 generation” immigrant journey to write stories that celebrate cultural heritage and emotional well-being. Whether she is speaking to adults or writing for kids, her goal is to break cycles of silence and build bridges between generations, encouraging young readers to embrace their unique stories with courage and pride.

Drawing from her experiences as a child of immigrants and now a parent, Angela explores intergenerational relationships shaped by family and memory.
