Nancy Ly and Paul Champy get real about the impacts of shame as Vietnamese and Cambodian Asian-Americans, whose families had fled from the mass killings of war. Paul shares harsh realities and insights into the hidden stories and journey to greater individuality and independence as a Cambodian-American from a refugee family, and how Cambodians experience higher levels of shame and challenges for assimilation in America.
Acting was one way Paul was able to escape from the realities of shame. As a dancer, actor, and hiking enthusiast, he has combined his passions together by creating a YouTube show called “The After Peak”. Subscribe to his YouTube channel “Paul Champy” at youtube.com/user/paulekidd
