Vietnamese Americans Today

Vietnamese Americans of the generation are making their names in America. Let's take a look at some familiar faces.  

No one is a stranger to YouTube anymore.  Vietnamese-Americans are making their names through the use of media, by posting videos on channels.

She posts makeup, beauty, and fashion tutorials and encourages confidence in her views. You probably know her: Michelle Phan. Michelle Phan is a Vietnamese-American YouTuber who dropped out of Ringling College of Art and Design and Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She first began posting tutorials on Xanga under the name of Ricebunny.  Joining YouTube on July 18th, 2006, she has become the most subscribed beauty channel on YouTube. In 2010, she was hired by Lancome.  This goes to show that if you have perseverance, and follow your dreams just as Michelle says, you have the ability to do whatever you set your mind to.  She is now a millionaire, just at the age of 26. Let's give it up for Miss Phan :)

Check out her most recent video:

 


 Cathy Nguyen, 22, is an unsigned YouTube artist who is fresh and talented. She is home to one of the 50 most subscribed channels on YouTube. 


Levy Tran is my all time girl crush.  She's a sexy and edgy, but silly Vietnamese model with a whole lotta tattoos.  She was born and raised in San Jose, California and currently models for Models International.  Levy has been featured on magazines such as Bizarre, Inked, and Tattoo Life. Girl is just too cool.
