023 A Memoir of Identity, Trauma, and Healing | Ingrid Hu Dahl

Ingrid Hu Dahl shares insights from her recently released memoir, "Sun Shining on Morning Snow" (Tao Shui Qing), a journey from pre-birth to the present, viewed through the lens of her mixed-race (Taiwanese-Chinese and Scandinavian) and queer identity. Born in 1980, just 13 years after interracial marriage was legalized in the U.S., her story offers a unique perspective on racialized sexism, xenophobia, and the complexities of growing up between Western and Taiwanese cultures. She bravely discusses childhood bullying—from both white and Asian communities—and the profound impact of generational trauma, even extending to the experiences of abused animals and their capacity for healing versus being stuck in trauma.
