Michael Luu was born in Saigon City, Vietnam a decade after the war ended in 1975. At the age of one, his parents fled Vietnam by boat in 1986. They sailed the open seas for a period of 23 days until they were rescued. They lived in a refugee camp in Indonesia for two years before coming to Canada in 1989. His parents struggled to integrate with Canadian society, working odd jobs to make ends meet while studying English at night. There were periods of discrimination and racism experienced by his family, but nothing stopped them from successfully integrating with Canadian society.
Michael is a graduate from the University of Calgary with degrees in Finance and International Relations. Today, he is a professional in the Oil and Gas industry in Alberta. Michael adds value and meaning to his life by giving back to the community with volunteering for various organizations.
#ICameAsARefugee is a campaign that sheds some positive light on refugees and celebrates their contribution to our society. It is a response to anti-refugee feelings. This campaign highlights six different refugees that came to Canada, and tells their stories through their own words.
