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!

Born & Raised in Cambodia in a French Bubble with Khmer Era Founder Marie
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Marie is Khmer-French, currently based in Berlin. Her dad's family immigrated to France in the 80s. Fifteen years later, he returned home on his own, met her mom, and decided his children would grow up between two cultures.
Marie and her sister were born and raised in Cambodia but mostly within a French bubble and she described existing in that in-between space, confusing.
As a bridge between Cambodia and her life abroad, Marie created KHMER ERA, a rave-inspired fashion brand using traditionally woven Khmer silk. It carries Cambodian culture and craftsmanship into new spaces through humor, community, and design.
