Kevin Thor (he/him/tub) is a proud queer son of Hmong refugees from Laos, born and raised on native Yokuts land (Fresno, CA). He thinks of the ways love graces all of us in some shape or way and its ability to transform people and society. More specifically, he is currently curious about love in Hmong communities, and wonders about the ways love is thought about, perceived, displayed, and then passed down from parent to child, and how that child, then, ultimately shows up for themselves and others in this precarious world. Guided by the love and care from family and chosen family, community, and mentors, Kevin is excited to deepen his understandings and exploration of intergenerational family dynamics and navigating conflicting beliefs, methods of conflict resolution to strengthen community/familial bonds, trans and queer Hmong stories of love, and the Hmong diaspora. He hopes that through his gathering and encouragement of people to tell their (love) stories, that it breathes some form of love into our society.
