Hatteka and her mom came home after doing their usual grocery run, only to be faced with hate and physical violence. ➡️
After witnessing a violent attack on her mother, the world didn’t feel safe anymore. Hatteka experienced paranoia and the fear of leaving her home as a trauma response to the hate she and her mother endured.
But Hatteka regained her strength through one of Khmer Girls in Action’s programs. Today, she’s a leader helping others navigate their own paths to emotional, mental and physical wellness. 🙌
Hatteka’s story is a reminder that by sharing your story and connecting with your community, you can turn pain into power. Organizations like continue to help young participants reclaim their voices in speaking up against hate.
