  • Something for every race and gender

    I really enjoyed listening to Vanny’s Khmer Voices episodes. It’s amazing how you can connect to people you have never met through their stores. I can relate to the Phantom pain of losing a language and knowing that it’s in my brain 🧠. Love it Vanny. Can’t wait to hear more.

    Also relate to being the in between space. Identifying with being Canadian Indian. Such a great interview 👌🏽

  • Untold stories of hardship and success

    I’m am not Khmer but I’m finding these stories both tear jerking and uplifting. Learning about the hardships the Khmer people endured fleeing their home for a better life for their children and discovering how the next generation grew and thrived in their adoptive countries to start families and become professionals is truly inspiring.

    Thank you Vanny for offering a platform for Khmer voices to be heard.
