Chia Vang: Hello, my name is Chia Gounza Vang. Chia like "chia chia pet" is the American pronunciation, Chia in Hmong pronunciation is SEE-UH, meaning scissor. My mother gave me the name because she wanted me to be sharp, capable, and useful like scissors. Vang in Hmong pronunciation is VAH. The true pronunciation of my name is SEE-UH GON-ZUH VAH, if you can't say it, it's okay to say Chia Gounza Vang.
