Blooming Through Adversity with Kanya Sim

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Freedom Writers Podcast, Erin Gruwell sits down with original Freedom Writer Kanya Sim to explore her extraordinary journey from surviving her family's escape from genocide to becoming an advocate for love and resilience. Kanya shares intimate stories about her refugee experience, her role bridging cultures in Long Beach's Cambodian community, and how Buddhist teachings have guided her life. As she now faces stage 4A cancer with remarkable grace, Kanya reflects on the meaning of "soft love," the power of community, and her unwavering belief that hardships only polish us to shine brighter. As Kanya undergoes chemotherapy and radiation treatment, we invite you to join us in supporting her journey: Donate to her GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kanya-fight-cancer-a-journey-of-strength-hope And a special thank you to the Port of Long Beach for generously sponsoring this episode.
