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!

Saran Uthayakumar Interviews Vanny Whitchelo for Dissertation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is a first! This interview with me was part of a study that Saran Uthayakumar is conducting for his PhD dissertation that examines the diasporic experiences of Cambodians and Tamils.
The dissertation asks: How do memories of violence and transgenerational trauma make 1.5/2nd generation refugee diaspora members more compelled or repelled from embracing identities and participating in communal healing and revival?
Saran wrote, "I was influenced by my best friend, who's French Khmer, and this project idea of ours was to connect our respective communities since our peoples were displaced after genocide in very different parts of the world."
