The Sống Collective and a National Commercial

Carolina, along with her colleagues David Huynh and Jonathan Castanien, founded The Sống Collective, a New York City-based initiative that aims to amplify the voices of those from the Vietnamese diaspora and provide creative spaces for artists of color to create powerful stories that redefine what it means to be American.

For their inaugural event. they staged a reading of VIETGONE by Qui Nguyen with an all-Viet cast, and raised over $900 for the NNIRR.

Carolina also shot a national commercial for Book of the Month, airing soon!
