Celebrating Unity and Historic Achievements: Di Tran and Vy Truong Attend Appreciation Dinner Honoring Senator Reggie Thomas

Post author By Di Tran
Post date October 10, 2024

On October 6, 2024, the historic Merrick Inn in Lexington, Kentucky, hosted a special Appreciation Dinner in honor of Senator Reggie Thomas, recognizing his unwavering commitment to advancing SB14 and multi-language beauty licensing. The event was a gathering of advocates, community leaders, and supporters who have made history in Kentucky by championing inclusivity and diversity in the beauty industry. Di Tran, founder of Louisville Beauty Academy, and Vy Truong, founder and CEO of Kentucky Pharmacy LLC, attended the event to celebrate this remarkable journey alongside many dedicated individuals.

The passage of SB14 has ushered in unprecedented change, including the appointment of a licensed nail technician and a skincare esthetician to the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology, as well as the launch of multi-language beauty licensing exams. The overwhelming support from state legislators, with unanimous votes in both chambers, and the new board’s endorsement of multi-language exams, reflects a collective commitment to creating accessible opportunities for all.

Among the key figures in this achievement are campaign leaders Micheal Carter, Lianna Nguyen, and Molida Soth, who played pivotal roles in rallying the community and pushing the bill forward. Micheal, now a Nail Technician Board member, led the campaign efforts with tireless dedication, while Lianna, also a campaign leader and now a School Owner Board member, used her voice to amplify the cause. Molida, a respected Cambodian community leader, brought strength and unity to the movement, leading hundreds to join the cause and advocate for change.

The Cambodian community’s support was particularly instrumental, with over 100 members consistently showing up in unity for every rally and gathering. Their unwavering presence became a key factor in securing the passage of SB14. As Senator Thomas acknowledged, it was this display of solidarity that truly shook the process into action, proving that when a community stands together, remarkable achievements are within reach.

Reflecting on this milestone, Di Tran expressed his gratitude: “I am simply blessed to be surrounded by individuals who work hard, advocate passionately, and care deeply for our loving community here in Kentucky. The love for God and our people drove each of us to step up in our own capacities. This achievement is a testament to the power of unity and the impact we can make when we elevate each other.”

The evening was not only about celebrating past achievements but also about renewing the commitment to ongoing advocacy. The first successful multi-language beauty exam in Spanish marks the beginning of a new era, with future expansions to Vietnamese and more languages soon to come, paving the way for inclusivity in licensing like never before.

Vy Truong reflected on the evening’s significance: “This isn’t just about a legislative victory; it’s about building a more inclusive future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We are witnessing a moment that goes beyond policy—it’s about empowering communities and opening doors for all.”

The Appreciation Dinner brought together the efforts of legislators, advocates, and a united community, showing that when people come together with a shared purpose, no obstacle is insurmountable. It was a night to honor not just one leader, but a movement dedicated to elevating voices, creating opportunities, and building a legacy of inclusivity that will inspire future generations.

Together, they are proving that love, unity, and relentless effort are the keys to winning change for the community and beyond.

El Crisol Divino: La Historia de Di Tran y el Papel del Supermercado Guanajuato en Tejer el Sueño Americano

Post author By Di Tran
Post date April 13, 2024

En el corazón de Louisville, Kentucky, se desarrolla una historia que entrelaza las hebras de cultura, cocina y comunidad: una narrativa que pertenece a Di Tran, un local vietnamita con un profundo amor por la comida latina. Es una historia que no solo explora la cocina, sino también el lenguaje universal de las sonrisas, compartido a través de culturas, y el poder de la comida para unir a las personas. El viaje de Di Tran refleja el de muchos inmigrantes, comenzando con su llegada a EE.UU. en 1995 sin habilidades en inglés, comunicándose a través del lenguaje internacional de gestos y buena voluntad. Como él, dos trabajadoras del Supermercado Guanajuato #2, con su limitado inglés, transmiten calor y bienvenida a través de sus sonrisas y frases entrecortadas. En su intercambio de orígenes, “vietnamita” se encuentra con “guatemalteco”, y en sus sonrisas, una comprensión compartida.

La esencia de la historia de Di Tran es la fusión, una fusión que trasciende la simple mezcla de tradiciones culinarias. Su uso innovador del pan plano, que recuerda a su infancia en Vietnam, cortándolo en tiras similares a fideos o envolviéndolo alrededor de repollo finamente cortado, crea un delicioso tapiz de sabores y texturas. Sin embargo, la fusión va más profundo, simbolizando la mezcla armoniosa de diferentes antecedentes y experiencias que contribuyen al vibrante tapiz de la sociedad estadounidense.

Louisville, conocida por su encanto sureño, se ha convertido en un lienzo para esta hermosa convergencia de culturas. El amor de Di Tran por el pan plano recién salido del horno, envuelto con carnes al estilo asiático, crea una experiencia compartida que resuena no solo con él, sino con todos los que llaman hogar a Louisville. Es una ciudad donde el calor de su gente, ya sean nativos o inmigrantes, crea un ambiente tan nutritivo y reconfortante como la comida que comparten.

A través de los ojos de Di Tran, la belleza de Louisville brilla no solo en sus paisajes, sino en los rostros de su gente: cuidadosos, amorosos y que abrazan la diversidad. El espíritu de la ciudad hace eco de sus recuerdos de una infancia en una cabaña de barro donde todos eran cuidadosos, prueba de que, independientemente de nuestros orígenes, la experiencia humana, en su esencia, es compartida. La vida de Di Tran y su comida son testimonios del hecho de que la fusión no se trata solo de crear nuevos sabores; se trata de forjar nuevas comunidades, nuevas conexiones y un nuevo entendimiento de lo que significa estar en casa.

PD: En una mezcla armoniosa de compasión y belleza, Di Tran fundó la Louisville Beauty Academy. Arraigada en Kentucky y floreciente con dos campus, esta universidad acreditada por el estado se ha convertido en un faro de aprendizaje para una comunidad diversa. Se erige como una institución orgullosa donde los inmigrantes latinos, asiáticos y europeos, entre otros, reciben no solo educación sino un lugar para florecer. Esta academia celebra el espíritu de inclusividad y empoderamiento, encarnando la dedicación de Di Tran a proporcionar oportunidades para todos, uniendo las hebras de la belleza divina en el sueño de cada individuo.

Divine Melting Pot: The Story of Di Tran and Supermercado Guanajuato’s Role in Weaving the American Dream

Post author By Di Tran
Post date April 13, 2024

In the heart of Louisville, Kentucky, there is a story that weaves together the threads of culture, cuisine, and community—a narrative that belongs to Di Tran, a Vietnamese local with a profound love for Latino food. It is a tale not just of culinary exploration but also of the universal language of smiles, shared across cultures, and the power of food to bring people together.

Di Tran’s journey mirrors that of many immigrants, beginning with a move to the U.S. in 1995 with no English skills, communicating through the international language of gestures and goodwill. Like him, the two female workers at Supermercado Guanajuato #2, with their limited English, convey warmth and welcome through their smiles and broken phrases. In their exchange of origins, “Vietnamese” meets “Guatemala,” and in their smiles, a shared understanding.

HOT HOT OFF THE OVEN ORDER of Flatbread

The essence of Di Tran’s story is fusion—a fusion that transcends the mere blending of culinary traditions. His innovative use of flatbread, reminiscent of his childhood in Vietnam, cutting it into noodle-like strips or wrapping it around thinly sliced cabbage, creates a delightful tapestry of tastes and textures. Yet, the fusion goes deeper, symbolizing the harmonious blend of different backgrounds and experiences that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of American society.

Louisville, known for its southern charm, has become a canvas for this beautiful convergence of cultures. Di Tran’s love for hot-off-the-oven flatbread, wrapped with Asian-style meats, creates a shared experience that resonates not just with him but with everyone who calls Louisville home. It’s a city where the warmth of its people, whether native-born or immigrant, creates an environment as nurturing and comforting as the food they share.

Through Di Tran’s eyes, Louisville’s beauty shines not just in its landscapes but in the faces of its people—caring, loving, and embracing diversity. The city’s spirit echoes his memories of a childhood in a mud hut where everyone was caring—proof that regardless of our origins, the human experience, at its core, is shared. Di Tran’s life and his food are testaments to the fact that fusion isn’t just about creating new flavors; it’s about crafting new communities, new connections, and a new understanding of what it means to be home.

PS: In a harmonious blend of compassion and beauty, Di Tran founded the Louisville Beauty Academy. Rooted in Kentucky and flourishing with two campuses, this state-licensed and accredited college has become a beacon of learning for a diverse community. It stands as a proud institution where Latino, Asian, and European immigrants, among others, receive not only education but a place to bloom. This academy celebrates the spirit of inclusivity and empowerment, embodying Di Tran’s dedication to providing opportunities for all, uniting the strands of God’s beauty in every individual’s dream.

A Tale of Resilience and Belief: Di Tran’s BELIEF Bourbon and Steven Yeng’s Skrewball Whiskey

Post author By Di Tran
Post date March 2, 2024

In the heart of Louisville, KY, a remarkable meeting took place at Liquor Barn between two extraordinary individuals, Di Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant and proud American, and Steven Yeng, a refugee from Cambodia. Both men, hailing from humble beginnings, have carved out successful paths in the world of entrepreneurship and spirits, showcasing the power of resilience, belief, and the American dream.

Di Tran, a man of many talents, is not only a nurse, licensed nail technician, and computer engineer but also a serial entrepreneur. With a journey that began in dirt-poor Vietnam, Di and his family sought refuge in the United States, where they worked tirelessly to build a better life. Di’s relentless drive and passion for education led him to establish multiple businesses, including the Louisville Beauty Academy and a chain of nail salons, before venturing into the world of bourbon with his exclusive BELIEF collectible bourbon.

On the other side, Steven Yeng’s story mirrors that of Di Tran’s. As a refugee from war-torn Cambodia, Steven grew up in a world far removed from the comforts many take for granted. His fascination with peanut butter, a novel flavor in his new homeland, inspired him to create a best-selling peanut butter whiskey cocktail at his bar and restaurant. Alongside his wife Brittany, a lawyer and chemist, Steven developed Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, a spirit that celebrates diversity and the unconventional paths that lead to success.

The meeting between Di Tran and Steven Yeng was a moment of mutual admiration and recognition of their shared journey from adversity to prosperity. Di Tran, out of excitement and respect, offered Steven a bottle of his BELIEF bourbon, a symbol of their common belief in the power of hard work and determination. Their encounter was a testament to the fact that, regardless of one’s background, success is attainable through perseverance and a strong belief in one’s dreams.

As they exchanged stories and took pictures, Di Tran and Steven Yeng looked forward to future conversations, each wishing the other continued success. Their meeting serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that the American dream is alive and well, fueled by the belief in oneself and the unwavering spirit to overcome obstacles.

In a world where stories of success often overshadow the struggles behind them, the tales of Di Tran and Steven Yeng stand as beacons of hope, reminding us that from the most challenging circumstances can emerge the most remarkable achievements. Here’s to the dreamers, the believers, and the trailblazers who show us that anything is possible when you hold onto your belief and strive for greatness.

At a recent event, Di Tran, a humble member of the Louisville community and a serial entrepreneur, had the opportunity to attend a meeting with Bill Moore, President of UPS Airlines. There, Moore elaborated on the wonders of UPS Worldport in Louisville, the heart of UPS’s global air network, and the technological advancements that facilitate the movement of 2 million packages each night.

Moore shared that UPS’s aircraft, with the capacity to virtually pilot themselves, are a testament to the company’s innovative spirit, with two pilots present largely for backup and redundancy. This high level of automation ensures efficiency and safety, supported by a workforce of 3,000 pilots and 1,500 mechanics, cementing UPS as a top employer and a source of pride for the local community.

A special note was made on UPS’s educational initiatives, offering part-time employees free tuition and full health benefits for just four hours of work daily. This program not only highlights UPS’s stature as a leading employer but also its commitment to nurturing the next generation—a cause close to Di Tran’s heart, given his work with Louisville Beauty Academy, the Louisville Institute of Technology and Kentucky Pharmacy.

During the event, Di Tran, who once walked the halls of UPS as a computer engineering intern, recounted his early days at the company. He expressed profound gratitude for the invaluable experience gained there, which laid the foundation for his journey into entrepreneurship. As a business owner and mentor, Tran’s story is a testament to the opportunities that a company like UPS can provide to young, ambitious individuals.

The meeting, punctuated by Moore’s insights and Tran’s reflections, served as a remarkable narrative of growth, technology, and community contribution. It was a vivid illustration of how one’s career trajectory can evolve from intern to industry leader, and how companies like UPS play a critical role in shaping the professional landscapes of cities like Louisville. Di Tran left the event inspired and thankful, carrying with him the lessons of a past enriched by opportunity and a future brimming with potential for the young minds of Louisville.

Harmonizing Dreams: The Collective Journey of Minh, Tam, Di, and Vy – A Tapestry of Asian-American Success in Nail Industry

Post author By Di Tran
Post date January 27, 2024

In the vibrant landscape of the American dream, the intertwined lives of Minh Tâm Nguyễn, his son Tam Nguyen, their friend Di Tran, and Di’s wife Vy Truong, compose a rich tapestry of Asian-American resilience, innovation, and community service.

Minh, once a lieutenant in the South Vietnamese Navy, found a new beginning in the United States. His venture into the beauty industry led to the establishment of Tam’s Beauty Salon and Advance Beauty College, symbolizing the adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit of many Asian immigrants.

His son, Tam Nguyen, an MD, and Di Tran, a computer engineer turned beauty academy owner, expanded Minh’s vision. Their dedication to the nail industry is a heartfelt commitment to serving the American society that welcomed them.

Adding another dimension to this narrative is Vy Truong, Di Tran’s wife, a pharmacist by profession and a Massachusetts-licensed nail technician. Vy embodies a unique blend of skills, serving the community both medically and aesthetically. Her involvement in the beauty industry alongside her pharmaceutical career illustrates the multifaceted talents and contributions of the Asian-American community.

Vy’s role in this story highlights the versatility and depth of the immigrant experience in America. She, like Minh, Tam, and Di, represents the ability to navigate and excel in multiple professions, enriching the communities they serve. Her dual expertise in health and beauty is not just a professional achievement but a symbol of her commitment to holistic community service.

The combined efforts of these individuals in establishing and nurturing the nail industry represent a broader narrative of Asian immigrants in America. This community, often arriving under challenging circumstances, has shown remarkable tenacity in building businesses that serve the American public while providing employment and fostering community ties.

Their success story in the nail industry, now a significant economic sector, reflects the innovative and hardworking spirit of Vietnamese immigrants. They have not only introduced and popularized new beauty services but have also created spaces for learning, growth, and mutual support.

This narrative of Minh, Tam, Di, and Vy is a microcosm of the broader Asian-American journey. It underscores the community’s deep appreciation for the opportunities presented by the United States and their eagerness to contribute to their adopted homeland. Their diverse professional paths – from military service and medicine to engineering, pharmacy, and beauty – showcase the rich tapestry of skills and experiences that immigrants bring to America.

Their collective story is a powerful testament to the Asian-American dream, woven with hard work, community service, and gratitude towards the United States. It’s a reminder of the essential role that immigrants play in enriching the nation’s cultural, social, and economic fabric.

THANK YOU TAM NGUYEN FOR THIS PICTURE

“Thank you, USA,” echoes through their combined efforts, representing not just their individual gratitude but that of countless Asian immigrants who view America as a land of hope and opportunity. Their gratitude is shown through their service across various fields, their entrepreneurial ventures, and their unwavering dedication to contributing to the country that has become their home. Their journey is a celebration of diversity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the American dream.

The New Wave of Affordable Beauty Education: Louisville Beauty Academy’s Revolutionary Approach

Post author By Di Tran
Post date January 10, 2024

In the world of cosmetology education, a significant concern has emerged about the high costs associated with obtaining the necessary training and licensure. As highlighted in the “Beauty School Debt and Drop-Outs” report by the Institute for Justice, aspiring beauty professionals often face expensive and time-consuming educational paths, leading to substantial debt and uncertain financial returns. This situation raises questions about the efficiency and accessibility of beauty education in the United States.

Addressing the Challenge: Louisville Beauty Academy’s Model

Enter Louisville Beauty Academy, a Kentucky State-Licensed and State-Accredited licensing beauty college, which is making strides to counter these challenges. By offering the most affordable beauty education in Kentucky and possibly in the surrounding states, Louisville Beauty Academy stands out as a beacon of hope for aspiring beauty professionals.

Discounted Rates and Flexible Programs

Louisville Beauty Academy has implemented a range of special discounts and offers for its various programs:

Nail Technology Program: Originally priced at $8,325.50, eligible nail students can now enroll for only $3,800. This includes discounts for full payment at enrollment, full-time attendance, and additional qualifications like being a new graduate or immigrant.
Aesthetic Program: This program’s standard cost of $14,174.00 has been significantly reduced to $6,100 for students meeting similar conditions as the nail program.
Cosmetology Program: The comprehensive cosmetology course, initially costing $27,025.50, is now available at $6,250.50, subject to similar discount criteria.
Certified Beauty Instructor Program: Aimed at future beauty instructors, this program is offered at a reduced cost of $3,900.00, down from $12,675.50.

The Impact of Louisville Beauty Academy’s Approach

Louisville Beauty Academy’s approach significantly contrasts with the national trend of high-cost beauty education. By focusing on “LICENSE YOUR BEAUTY TALENT” and “CREATING SMILES,” the academy emphasizes debt-free graduation and employment readiness. Their flexible scheduling allows students to work while attending school, further reducing financial strain.

Return on Investment

Louisville Beauty Academy’s strategy dramatically enhances the return on investment for students. With costs significantly lower than the national average, graduates can realistically expect to recoup their educational expenses within a few months of entering the workforce, as opposed to grappling with tens of thousands in loans.

Conclusion

Louisville Beauty Academy presents a compelling model for beauty education, one that prioritizes affordability and accessibility. By drastically reducing costs and offering flexible learning options, it stands as a testament to the possibility of a more sustainable and equitable approach to beauty education, not just in Kentucky but potentially in the broader United States.

This paradigm shift could well inspire other institutions to reconsider their pricing and educational structures, potentially leading to a more inclusive and financially feasible pathway for aspiring beauty professionals nationwide.

“You Also Ought to Wash One Another’s Feet”: Celebrating Service at Harbor House of Louisville with Louisville Beauty Academy

Post author By Di Tran
Post date November 17, 2023

Louisville, KY – November 16, 2023 – Di Tran, the esteemed owner of Louisville Beauty Academy, was a notable attendee at the Harbor House of Louisville’s appreciation celebration event tonight. The event, a significant milestone for Harbor House, marked the expansion of their services and the announcement of their partnership with Tran for the establishment of a new beauty school within their $17+ million facility.

Maria Smith, the CEO of Harbor House, in her address to the attendees, quoted Jesus: “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” Seamlessly, Smith connected this Biblical teaching to the ethos of Harbor House, saying, “At Harbor House, we literally wash everyone’s feet already.” Her words resonated with the organization’s commitment to service and care.

The statement struck a chord with Di Tran, who reflected on how Harbor House’s actions embody a level of godliness, both literally and metaphorically. Tran, whose Louisville Beauty Academy is renowned for its comprehensive beauty education, saw a profound alignment with his own philosophy of care and service. His decision to establish a second academy at Harbor House is driven by a desire to instill a mindset of genuine care in future beauty professionals, mirroring Harbor House’s exemplary methods and dedication to serving God.

The new facility, boasting modern equipment including brand-new pedicure chairs, will offer extensive training in hair, nail, and skincare, with a special focus on pedicures. This aligns perfectly with the literal act of washing feet, coupled with the metaphorical implication of serving and caring for others.

In a moment of inspiration, Di Tran approached Maria Smith with the idea of placing Jesus’ quote about washing feet at each pedicure station. This would serve as a constant reminder of the deeper meaning behind their services. Smith immediately agreed, recognizing it as a wonderful way to encapsulate the spirit of their collaboration and the essence of their shared mission.

The event concluded on a high note, with attendees feeling inspired and uplifted by the potential of this new partnership. Harbor House of Louisville and Louisville Beauty Academy are set to embark on a journey that not only enhances skills but also enriches the soul, staying true to the values of service, care, and community.
