In light of the chemical leak and evacuations in Garden Grove yesterday, we will be cancelling the Mẹ Ơi / Oh Mother! event at Junior High LA.

Many of our friends, family, and community have been affected by the ongoing situation and will continue to be affected. We want to prioritize the safety and mental wellbeing of our community, and we believe cancelling this event is the most responsible course of action.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who signed up, shared the event, and supported this gathering. A huge thank you as well to our panelists and film directors for wanting to be part of such a meaningful evening centered around motherhood, storytelling, and community. 🌸

While we are saddened to postpone, we fully intend to reschedule the event for a later date and hope to gather together soon in a space and time that feels right for everyone.

Again, we appreciate your understanding and hope that you and your families are safe during this time. 💛
