Khmer Voices
Growing up in Canada, there was a lack of representation of stories that truly resonated with my experiences 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.

Why Celebrating Our Khmer Roots is More Important than Ever with Cambodian Cultural Centre President Sopheaktra (Peter) Heang
Sopheaktra (Peter) Heang and I discuss the establishment of the Cambodian Cultural Centre in British Columbia, Canada which aims to reconnect and unite the Cambodian diaspora with our heritage through arts, community building, and cultural events.
We reflect on the success of the Roots of Compassion event in July and the upcoming Echoes of Angkor celebration in October, emphasizing the importance of unity and cultural preservation amidst challenges - in particular, the border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand.
The conversation highlights the vision for a vibrant community space that fosters learning, mentorship, and cultural exchange.
