As the last episode of the year, we thought it would be fitting to end with a story about legacy and resilience. The Gee Family is known as one of the first Chinese immigrants to arrive in Houston. Today, they are a famous name in the Chinese American Houston network and highly active in the city’s political and philanthropic landscape. In this episode, meet Claudia Gee Vassar, President of Houston Botanic Garden. She talks about growing up in the Gee legacy, her dual identity as a German and Chinese American, and her spirit of giving back to the community.
