Childhood Photograph

“This picture is part of my HMoob experience. When I was a kid, my grandma used to dress me up in HMoob clothes all the time and my parents would take pictures of me. And as usual, I wore a lot of pink HMoob clothes because pink was my favorite color. Even though in the past couple of years I haven't worn HMoob clothes a lot, recently, I've been appreciating my identity as a HMoob womxn and I've been trying to wear HMoob clothes as often as I can. Also shoutout to my fellow HMoob Leeg folks! Here I am, proud to be a HMoob Leeg womxn. Come share your story! This is my HMoob story, what is yours? "
