HND 2025 in Minneapolis was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt the energy—Hmong professionals, artists, students, and leaders all coming together to learn, connect, and uplift.

Every workshop, performance, and hallway conversation reminded me how far we’ve come and how bright our future is. We are not just preserving culture—we’re shaping it. From kwv txhiaj to tech talks, from opening ceremonies to the leadership banquet, this conference was a powerful reminder: we are thriving, rooted, and rising.

If you’ve never been to HND, go. Our community is extraordinary—and it’s only getting stronger.
