Journalist Soreath Hok, a 1.5 generation immigrant, covers Cambodian-American mental health, spurred by her college radio involvement and USC Annenberg fellowship. Her award-winning work focuses on the mental health challenges among Cambodian refugees and their descendants, drawing attention to the lack of resources and cultural care. With articles that include personal and industry stories, she seeks to foster awareness and healing in the Cambodian American community.

Dr. Sophal Ear, a Cambodian refugee, transitioned from escaping the Khmer Rouge to a successful academic and writer, advocating for Cambodian history education. Influenced by his upbringing and mother's determination, he shifted from medicine to political science and economics. His work includes critiquing Western supporters of the Khmer Rouge, a TED Talk, and a documentary about his family's escape, inspiring Cambodian Americans.
