Finding Truth

Raymond M. Wong spent most of his life running from his family and culture in an attempt to "fit in." No matter how hard he tried, he was still an outsider in every area of his life. In this presentation, he will reveal why he didn't want to be Chinese and the trip back to Hong Kong that made him face his truth.
