Episode 33 features a conversation between creator/host Rita Phetmixay and founder of Courageous Kitchen & TukTuk Box enterprises, Christy Innouvong-Thornton!
During this episode, Christy reflects on her painful experiences of growing up in a white household (w/o her Lao Isan parents) + moving beyond narratives of forced resilience & giving back through Southeast Asian foodways.
Today, Christy is living her best life in North Carolina, while feeding, educating and creating socioeconomic advancement for Southeast Asian people through TukTuk Box, a specialty food retailer storytelling platform.
