Gerber names Kairi Yang, a 15-month-old Hmong-American from North Carolina with a 'one-of-a-kind personality' and a love of chicken nuggets, the company’s next “spokesbaby.”
Kairi’s parents — mother, Ying Vue, and father, Peter Yang — told Today that they were raising her around Hmong customs. In addition to the immediate family, Kairi’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives share their North Carolina home.
“Being surrounded by all her family has been a very positive influence on Kairi’s life, especially when it comes to preserving our culture and tradition,” Vue said. “Kairi will grow up knowing how to read and write in Hmong, so that she can speak with her grandparents.” Kairi enjoys listening to nursery rhymes, building blanket forts and playing with her dad, her parents said. She also enjoys chicken nuggets,
, and is named after a nickname that her mother used in high school based on a character from the video game"Kingdom Hearts." “Kairi’s positive energy and smile lights up our life,” Vue said. “She has a one-of-a-kind personality.”
