Embracing Fear and Taking Risks with Dorothy Chow
Description
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.
