It’s not always easy, but when I hear parents tell me that their children request my stories about Indian culture before bed or as a treat, and that they share these stories with their friends and family, I am even more motivated to accomplish my mission.

Vanessa Pham: Proud and Loud about Asian Grocery Food

Vanessa Pham: Proud and Loud about Asian Grocery Food
Vanessa: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! What you smell is goodness! We started Omsom to bring proud, loud Asian flavors to your fingertips any day of the week! We want Omsom to be sitting in your pantry, right between the tomato sauce and olive oil — no more diluted dishes, no more cultural compromise. Our mission is to reclaim and celebrate the multitudes that exist in Asian cultures, honor the communities we represent, and make mainstream grocery stores reflect the changing DNA of this country.
