What does Hmong New Year mean to you? Hmong New Year is celebrated across the country and world from as early as October to as late as December. Historically, it is a celebration to give thanks to our ancestors and to commemorate the year’s harvest. At the same time, traditions and cultures have evolved over the past many years.
Celebrating Hmong New Year is different this year due to the pandemic but regardless, we take a trip down memory lane to share how we have celebrated Hmong New Year growing up and what it means to us as Hmong American women. In honor of closing out the year, we also reflect on the challenges of 2020 and share what our hopes are for 2021 and beyond.
