Chad Sammeth is a Khmer American who has been involved in the Cambodian community over the last two decades - primarily in Long Beach, California's Cambodia Town. This started in his early twenties whilst seeking to discover and reconnect with his Cambodian heritage and roots.
This episode briefly covers his journey from IT to marketing, and focuses on the influential people that shaped him, the impact he wants to make, and his hopes for the Cambodian diaspora. We also discuss the complexities of navigating cultural expectations as first generation immigrants and the importance of community engagement.
Despite battling terminal cancer the past three years, Chad is still planting the seeds for the Khmer community and next generation to thrive.
His journey of self-discovery has recently led him to creating the Khmer Tree podcast where he interviews people of the Cambodian diaspora. He captures his guests' personal stories, cultural traditions, and reflections on identity, heritage, and community.
