““I cut a mango for you” celebrates nostalgic acts of love within Asian immigrant households, where love wasn’t spoken for, rather shown through acts of service. It is a celebration of Asian immigrant love and how immigrant elders express and share their love to their children, who are not familiar with verbal love. This concept celebrates the true intent and meaning of immigrant family love languages disguised as acts of service and translates this form of trauma into a way of understanding the love behind these acts. Growing up within an immigrant household has shown the lack of affection, comfort and spoken love that children may face which brings on trauma and hurt of living through a silent struggle. “I cut a mango for you” provides an understanding perspective on the acts of services that immigrant children may misjudge today – it welcomes and celebrates the idea that love comes in many indirect forms within immigrant households. ”
