Author of A Dozen Delicious Donuts: A Sweet Cambodian American Story, Chanda Ouk Wolf has loved reading for as long as she can remember, but growing up in the United States, she never came across stories that gave her a sense of who she is as a Cambodian American.
Chanda grew up in Long Beach, California and later Lowell, Massachusetts, both home to the two largest Khmer communities in the US.
In this episode, we discuss the cultural significance of Cambodian-owned donut shops, navigating higher education and exploring different career options, her motivations for writing children's literature, and the importance of representation in literature, plus much more.
Chanda holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology Major and Legal Studies Minor as well as a Law degree from Northeastern University School of Law.
