All throughout my work, even in the United States, I have worked with the greater Cambodian community.

I'm very connected to the story, the history, and the trauma people experience.

In Cambodian culture the male figure in the family is important; when you lose your husband you lose your economic ability to survive.

A lot of my work is process-oriented. I delve into my work and sit alone in silence and work with the material and process it, like talking to yourself.

When you're reading from a different language that's different from your own, it's not the same as being fluent.

I am a community social psychologist and a lot of my work deals with social work and helping people overcoming addiction and trauma.

I think that through the narratives of other people you get closer to your own.
