About This Event

Join author and educator Sandy Ho for a focused session exploring how culture, language, and generation shape communication and family dynamics. Drawing from Sandy's lived experience and sociolinguistic insight (highlighted in her memoir, No Way But Through), we will be connecting with one another and sharing our lived experiences.

In this facilitated discussion, we will explore:


  • Generational expectations and misunderstandings
  • Cultural values expressed through language, silence, and storytelling
  • Strategies for navigating intergenerational dialogue
