I grew up in Houston and live in Philadelphia, where I work in immigration legal aid, mostly representing detained individuals in deportation proceedings. I'm admitted to the Pennsylvania bar.
For writing matters, you can reach me, though I admit very far from consistently, via Substack or email (nqsommai[at]gmail).
My name's pronounced “sum-EYE.” The IPA goes /sʌˈmaɪ/. “Nguyen” sounds like "penguin" without the initial “pe-,” or like “Gwen” as in Stefani.
