Khmer Voices
Growing up in Canada, there was a lack of representation of stories that truly resonated with me when it came to professionals. In this podcast, I aim to close this gap.
We're celebrating and amplifying Khmer voices through conversations with the Cambodian diaspora from all over the world. We discuss their journey, successes, failures and their upbringing.
Get inspired to take action after hearing our stories!
