Navigating Career Pivots with Sophaline Mao

Season 2 · Episode 10

Tuesday, December 9, 2025 • Duration 50:52

As a 1.5 generation Cambodian American growing up in Stockton, California, Sophaline Mao was shaped by the vibrancy of her heritage and the challenges of navigating a bicultural identity. These early experiences forged her deep empathy, strong work ethic, and lifelong devotion to empowering others.

Fueled by a commitment to education and self-betterment, Sophaline worked tirelessly to excel academically, ultimately earning dual graduate degrees from the University of San Francisco: a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Asia Pacific Studies. These achievements opened the door to an international career in the Asia-Pacific region—an experience that further expanded her worldview and strengthened her leadership.

In this episode, Sophaline gives us a look into her upbringing, her journey from school to work, and her canny pursuits to live life to the fullest and with purpose.

Currently practicing real estate in California, she also volunteers her time as the 2026 President of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Alameda County, the Vice President of the Board for Tri-Valley Haven, and a Board Member of Caring for Cambodia.

Embracing Fear and Taking Risks with Dorothy Chow

Season 2 · Episode 9

Tuesday, November 25, 2025 • Duration 01:04:32

Dorothy Chow is a second generation Cambodian American who grew up in donut shops. She described her father as the northern California version of The Donut King.

Her father's detailed account of his time surviving the Khmer Rouge regime and his subsequent life in the US on their podcast Death in Cambodia, Life in America earned them international coverage in media such as the CBS Morning Show and South China Morning News.

In this episode, Dorothy describes how growing up, her parents steered her and her siblings towards their Chinese heritage more than their Cambodian side, her college and career pivots, why she ultimately decided to join the family businesses, and why she started the podcast.

We also covered the launch of her nonprofit organization aimed at supporting mental health resources and encouraging genocide survivors to share their stories.

Cambodian Legacy Project with Nonprofit's Founder Ah Ny (Kaovny) Jonas

Season 1 · Episode 20

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 • Duration 59:18

AhNy (Kaovny) Jonas is a Cambodian-American advocate, nonprofit leader, and cultural educator based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Cambodian Legacy Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Cambodian heritage while empowering the next generation of Cambodian-Americans to embrace both their cultural roots and American identity.

Through storytelling, intergenerational connection, and community-based programming, AhNy works to strengthen cultural pride and belonging for families navigating dual identities.

In this episode, AhNy reflects on her experiences growing up carrying the weight of inherited trauma, her family's financial struggles, the positive impact of her teachers, and her decision to start the Cambodian Legacy Project.

We also talked about the importance of hearing our parents' stories straight from them, something that AhNy didn't have a chance to do with her late father.

Quiet Cambodian Girl Who Found her Voice with Nan (Samantha) Le

Season 1 · Episode 19

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 • Duration 01:13:54

Samantha Le—Nan at home, Sam at work—is the Vice President of Operations at Sagewind Capital, a New York–based private equity firm she’s called home since 2018. There, she leads firmwide operations across HR, IT, and everything in between. Before stepping into the world of private equity, Nan cycled through 10 full-time jobs, 8 part-time jobs, and 6 gigs—viewing work as a survival tool more than a calling. It paid the bills, helped her support family, and taught her how to keep going.

She was the first in her family to earn a college degree, graduating from UCLA with a BA in English at 26. At 40, she completed her MBA in Finance from Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business. For Nan, it’s never too late to become who we’re meant to be—or to decide that who we are is already enough.

Outside the office, Nan finds joy in cycling, sewing, and storytelling. She’s passionate about cultural reclamation and healing intergenerational trauma—especially within the Cambodian diaspora. Her creative work braids memory, identity, and transformation through personal essays and handmade fashion rooted in Khmer textiles. She’s currently learning to read and write in Khmer, reclaiming the language her parents once carried across an ocean.

Through storytelling, a growing Khmer American wardrobe, and community connection, Nan is committed to honoring her past while shaping a future that feels both joyful and true.
