These past 5 years posting as Hypefoodies has been very disheartening; no matter how careful we are in portraying different cultures correctly, no matter how much we try to be respectful to the industry, no matter how many small mom & pops have reached out to us thanking us for helping their business… we always get boiled down to nothing more than an “influencer” and it was taboo to give us any praise because we are people from instagram. @eunyangdc was the first to see who we are behind the influencer facade and learned that we are children of refugees. We have humble beginnings. The content we produce can’t be made by someone who picked up a camera yesterday. This AAPI NBC 4 interview really touched us as we always felt no one in D.C. really cared about us as Asians, more specifically Cambodian & Vietnamese creatives, and Eun Yang sharing our story in such a precise & accurate manner gives us hope and the strength to carry on. Thank you! . . . Eun Yang & NBC 📍 AAPI Amplified: Hypefoodies #nbc4 #eunyang #aapi #aapiheritagemonth #aanhpi #hypefoodies

☀️ Hypefoodies Block Party ☀️ Our mission was to bring back that old school festival vibe Annandale has been missing for years - hip hop dance, night market food, appreciation of different cultures 🏮 We brought the community together and the people definitely want more. Thank you all for making #hypefoodiesblockparty an experience we will never forget! 🙇🏽‍♂️💍🙇🏽‍♀️ 🎥: @kparkproductions . . .

Honored to be included in the @washingtoncitypaper for our role in stopping the gentrification of Eden Center 🙏🏽 (graphics by Emily Martin) Growing up a few blocks away, Eden was a safe haven for us and our families. The culture, food, and community provided many Vietnamese a second home. And not just Vietnamese, but also many fellow South East Asian refugees. The Vietnam war, Secret War in Laos, and Cambodian Genocide pushed millions of people to escape death and many settled in Falls Church, Arlington, and beyond. We grew up with low-income housing, food stamps, and very little money. Our parents had to work two jobs to survive and put food on the table. Regardless of what we were going through, we all gathered at Eden Center 💛 A big shout out to @avietplace @vnl @denisetnguyen @fictionals who initiated this movement. They rallied everyone together, attended council meetings, and shared it online. We stumbled upon the news through their activism. We felt our childhood home was in danger so we quickly voiced our concerns and used our following to amplify their message 🗣️ it was a domino effect of positivity because @thesundayroastnews Emily Martin of the Washington City Paper saw our struggles and chose to write about it… so here we are 🤝 The fight to keep the Vietnamese community thriving in Northern, VA is far from over, but this is a hopeful start. . . .
