Empire Fam

Empire Fam was established on January 27th, 2020 by Vincent (Vinnie) Duong. We were officially recognized as a fam in PASA on September 18th, 2020.

1. “The reason why I created Empire is because I felt that there was a disconnect in my original fam with honesty. One of my beliefs is that people need to own up to their own mistakes and not beat around the bush. And I wanted to create a fam where we would have stronger bonds with everyone and to create a family built on honesty and trust. Empire was just vibing and cruising to find a brighter path and move onto greener pastures.“ - Vincent Duong

2. Empire is a multicultural fam full of people from all walks of life. We created this fam because we wanted everyone to be able to build their own EMPIRE and make sure that they have the support system they need to achieve their goals.

Fam Motto: “Walking on a dream.”

Date Established: January 27th, 2020.
