From escaping war-torn Cambodia as an infant to breaking cultural barriers as a first-generation college student, Sophaline Mao's remarkable journey unfolds in this intimate conversation with her husband Mony. In this episode of Love, Listings & Legacy, Sophaline shares her family's incredible path from refugee camps to the American Dream, including her father's courageous decision to stay behind during the Khmer Rouge regime to protect his mother. Listen as she recounts growing up in 1980s California, navigating cultural identity as the eldest daughter of Cambodian refugees, and defying expectations to forge her own path at San Francisco State University. Through vivid stories of drive-by shootings in Long Beach, her father confronting schoolyard bullies, and working three jobs while pursuing her degree, Sophaline paints a raw and inspiring portrait of resilience. Her message about not letting circumstances define your destiny makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking motivation to pursue their dreams despite obstacles.
