A quick update from the hosts of #hoochim:
As you may have determined already, were/are on an unexpected hiatus. We’re not sure where we’re headed next. Stay tuned.
September 2022 #hoochim Update
Hoochim has been aware for a while now that we are mentioned in Lori Kido Lopez’s 2021 book, Micro Media Industries: Hmong American Media Innovation in the Diaspora. A couple of the hosts met with Lopez a number of years ago to share information about Hoochim and Lopez contacted us for an image to use in a potential future publication. We did not see, review, or approve of any of the content written about Hoochim in what may be in any of Lopez’s publications, including the 2021 book. That being said, we are aware there are a number of inaccuracies about us in the book.
Thanks for the laughs.
