このコンテンツについて

 Mai's life began in a refugee camp in Thailand. At just 14 years old, a cultural misunderstanding changed everything—leading her into a marriage she never planned and a future she never imagined. In this deeply moving episode of From Dark to Light, Mai shares her journey growing up Hmong in America, navigating patriarchal expectations, silence around communication, and the weight placed on young girls to conform. She opens up about becoming a teen bride and mother, surviving emotional and physical abuse, and finding the courage to leave—despite cultural pressure to stay silent. With honesty and grace, Mai reflects on the power of education, the quiet strength of her parents, and how redefining "tradition" allowed her to reclaim her voice. Today, she is a mentor, advocate, mother, and role model for young Hmong women who are learning to speak up in a world that often asks them not to. This episode is a testament to resilience, cultural identity, healing, and the life-changing power of believing in yourself. ✨ If you've ever felt unheard, unseen, or trapped by expectations—this story is for you. 🎧 Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts for more stories of courage, faith, and resilience and help us shine light into the darkest places. 🌿 Follow From Dark To Light Podcast for more conversations on healing, resilience, and finding peace after pain: 👉YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@FromDarktolightpodcast 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fromdarktolightpodcast 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fromdarktolightpodcast 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fromdarktolightpodcast 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-crawford-3b2372206/ 🌿Connect and follow Mai Vang 👉Website: https://www.maiforus.com/ 👉Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cmmaivang/ 🎙️ Have a story to share?
