In this heartfelt episode of Keeping Up With Khmer Maine, co hosts SreyArt Rathbut and Marpheen Chann sit down with two Khmer mothers, Sokuntheavy Kheam and Suphanny Peun, and their daughters, Angel Chhoeung and Sarita Sam, to reflect on family, culture, and gratitude. Together, they share how they first connected with Khmer Maine, what it means to raise Cambodian American children in Maine, and how traditional Khmer dance helps the next generation stay rooted in their heritage.

In Grey’s Anatomy Season 22, Episode 2, “We Built This City,” viewers witnessed a powerful and long-overdue moment of Cambodian American representation on primetime television. The episode featured Sok Tep, a Cambodian refugee, and his daughter Sithea—characters whose story reflects the enduring legacy of the Khmer Rouge genocide and the intergenerational trauma that continues to shape many Cambodian families today.
