That's the #Truth

One woman's hope to encourage others to break their silence and share their stories.

Lea Tran's journey to freedom didn't end when she left VietNam and arrived in the United States in 1980 as one of many Boat People refugees. She was an adolescent girl stuck between two cultures and continents for many decades. Although Lea was free from tyranny and oppression, the emotional bonds of guilt and responsibility kept her from being truly free. After forty years, Lea learns that freedom is not only a place but also a state of mind and inner peace. By sharing her memoir "I Did Not Miss the Boat," she chooses to step out of the victim mindset to live an empowered, authentic life.

Lea believes everyone has a story, a life lesson we can learn from. "Extracting from her multi-faceted cultural and life experiences, Lea motivates her audience to bridge the gaps of cultural differences, to take action to break the mold of generational suffering, and to create their own opportunity to speak their voice, live their truth."

Stephanie King Mattingly is the author of the soon to be released book "The Secrets You Hide Hold You Back, How Letting Go Sweetness Your Life and Makes You Free." In her book, Stephanie reveals thirteen secrets we all guard, and explains how letting go can help us live a sweet life.

Everyone has secrets that hold them back. We can all hang on to the notion that it is best to keep secrets hidden to protect us from the judging eyes of others, to remain in denial about the mental, emotional, and physical impact of hurtful circumstances, or to project the image we want others to have of us. Stephanie shares her faith and explains how letting go promotes freedom and possibility, helping us live a sweeter life.

Edward Di Gangi: What family Means | That's the #truth

Edward Di Gangi was adopted at birth in New York City. An only child, he made no effort to explore his heredity until, at age 69, a visit to a cemetery where members of his adoptive mother's family were buried stirred his interest. Over the past three years, through extensive archival research and DNA testing, Ed peeled back the layers of his once unknown family piecing together the life story of an extraordinary woman—his birth mother.

Far from being the ordinary woman that Di Gangi had envisioned, Genevieve Knorowski was an aspiring “artista” who left home at the age of seventeen in the midst of World War II to join an ice-skating company in Vancouver. Journeying alone by train across the continent from New York, Genevieve would go on to achieve fame as an ice show performer, skating in the United States, Central and South America, and across Europe. However, it is a decision Genevieve makes on Easter Sunday in a church on New York City’s Upper West Side that will forever connect the life of a young woman pursuing her dreams with the life of a seventy-year-old man searching for answers to the lifelong questions of who we are, where we come from, and what family means.

"Confused and concerned while tightly holding onto my father’s arm, I was an eight-year-old boy split up from my family to be placed on a small fishing boat sitting closely with twenty-five other people. After five days of no food, the entire boat was ready to succumb to the treacherous sea. The pounding of the waves onto the sides of the boat with splashes of the salt water onto my face and the darkness of the night brought chills to my bones. Life at sea was a torturing death sentence.

On the boat, we all had one mission and that was to find freedom..."

With a deep and insightful combination of optimism, hope, courage, and gratitude, Len Tran, author of Split Up by the Sea, discusses his memoir and shares some of the incredible lessons he learned through his treacherous experience and the importance of staying the course.

"If we want to move forward, we've got to make a decision."

Len Tran is a professional speaker, author, and a martial artist. Len continues to strive and push his own limits while inspiring others not to let go of their inner drive. As a martial artist for more than thirty-five years, he trains himself and his students to become better than who they were.

He received a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering and has worked more than twenty years professionally in the engineering intellectual property field.
