Kue K'nyawmupoe: Connecting and Serving Communities

Steve sits down with Kue K'nyawmupoe, a resilient woman who has a passion for community engagement and helping others. Kue's journey began in a Thailand refugee camp where she lived a simple life with her family for the early part of her life. At age of 15, Kue and her family moved to Canada, and through the support of her local church and settlement programs, Kue and her family integrated into their community. In this episode, Kue takes us through her journey from living in the refugee camp to what it was like to journey from Thailand to Canada, and some of the work that she does to engage her roots, culture, and community.
