00:00My name is Dara, and I'm from Cambodia.

00:03Cambodian women are very generous.

00:08Not all women are like that.

00:13When we work or get a job,

00:17we don't forget about ourselves.

00:19But where do we come from?

00:21We should know what we have,

00:24and we should control ourselves,

00:26before we control others.

00:31What is your name?

00:39My name is Sonita,

00:42and I'm from Cambodia.

00:46How do you feel about winning an award?

00:50I'm so happy to win an award.

00:54I don't know why,

00:57but I feel like I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

01:05I've been doing Khmer dance since I was 16 years old.

01:10I can say that I'm a 4-year-old.

01:14If I had kids, I would be the youngest.

01:19So I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

01:21What I've learned is that

01:26you can do a lot of things.

01:30My friends call me a Khmer woman.

01:37I will not let them down.

01:41I will continue to do what I do.

01:47A Khmer woman means

01:49a lot to me.

01:52Not all Khmer women are like that.

01:57So I'm so happy to receive this award.

02:02I'm so happy to receive this award

02:08because my friends love it.

02:10Thank you so much for your support.

02:14Today is the 9th anniversary of the award.

02:24I used to do a lot of Khmer dance.

02:29I used to wear Khmer clothes.

02:33One day, I got an update.

02:38A lot of people called me a Khmer woman.

02:42I don't have a specific status.

02:46But all of my friends call me a Khmer woman.

02:51From the article,

02:54they call me a Khmer woman since 2016.

03:02Before this project,

03:04I graduated in 2015.

03:06At that time, I went to Khmer school.

03:09I thought that I have a Khmer identity.

03:13So I want to learn Khmer dance.

03:18I want to learn how to create a Khmer dance.

03:23So I took Khmer dance as my first step.

03:27Since then, I have been dancing.

03:29I want to sell Khmer dance and open a shop.

03:33I want to sell Khmer dance.

03:37At that time, I thought that I want to sell Khmer dance.

03:41But I only have one video clip.

03:45I don't have anything to film.

03:48I only have one video clip.

03:50I don't have anything to film.

03:52Since then,

03:54I have been creating my own clothes.

03:56I DIY my own clothes.

03:58My friends can make their own clothes.

04:00They can buy Khmer clothes from the store.

04:02Since 2016,

04:04I realized that

04:06if I make my own money,

04:08I can't help others.

04:11So,

04:13I decided to make money

04:15so that I can help people

04:17who are in need.

04:19They can provide us with Khmer clothes.

04:22We can sell Khmer clothes at the store.

04:24We can sell Khmer clothes at the store.

04:26We can make a lot of money

04:28so that we can help others.

04:32So, I decided to open a shop in Khmer.

04:35I want to help the society.

04:38I want to help the society.

04:40I want to help Khmer people

04:42to have a better life.

04:44If we make one product,

04:46it can last for 6 months,

04:48or 1 year, or 2 years.

04:50After that,

04:52we will close the shop.

04:54Then, Khmer people won't forget us.

04:56So, I decided to continue

04:58until now.

05:03I have a lot of experiences

05:05that I want to share

05:07with Khmer people.

05:09I have a slogan.

05:11If you love me,

05:13I will give you a million.

05:15So, I want you to know

05:17that you love me too.

05:19So, in 2024,

05:21I took Khmer people

05:23to the Film Festival

05:25in Karn province,

05:27in the Farang province.

05:30I had a big and small contest

05:32that year.

05:34So, I decided to bring Khmer people

05:36to the festival.

05:38I brought Khmer people

05:40with me.

05:42I brought Khmer people

05:44with me.

05:46They were so elegant

05:48and beautiful.

05:50When I went there,

05:52I saw a lot of people

05:54who were wearing Khmer clothes.

05:56I was surprised

05:58because I was the only one

06:00who was wearing Khmer clothes.

06:02I was wearing Khmer clothes

06:04for 10 nights.

06:06I got to know

06:08Khmer people

06:10and their culture.

06:12I had a chance

06:14to meet

06:16a lot of Khmer people.

06:18I was a part of

06:20the Khmer festival

06:22and

06:24I was a part of

06:26the Khmer festival.

06:28After that,

06:30I had a lot of projects

06:32with Khmer people.

06:34For example,

06:36I went to the festival

06:38with 20 Khmer people

06:40in Meri province.

06:42I shot a film

06:44with Ngo Wat

06:46in Rathia province.

06:48I had a lot of projects

06:50with Khmer people

06:52in Meri province.

06:54I had a chance

06:56to compare

06:58Khmer culture

07:00with Khmer fashion

07:02and I had a chance

07:04to compare

07:06Khmer culture

07:08with

07:10Khmer fashion

07:12as well.

07:14Khmer culture

07:16is different

07:18from

07:20the Asian culture

07:52The first time they saw me, they couldn't take their eyes off me because I was dressed in a different color.

07:58At first, they thought I was dressed in red.

08:03But when I was dressed in black, they also thought I was black.

08:07So I was dressed in a different color.

08:11Then one day, they noticed me.

08:16I wanted them to know that before they saw me, they thought I was black.

08:22Like me.

08:23Before, I thought I was black.

08:27But after a year, I realized that I wasn't black.

08:33So I wanted them to know that I was black.

08:38So I decided to continue my career in Khmer.

08:56Everyone has their own preferences.

09:02They don't like what I do.

09:04But no matter what I do, people still love me.

09:14So they don't hide their love for me.

09:17I have a lot of friends.

09:20I have a lot of experience.

09:23I've been doing this for 29 years.

09:25But I still want to continue my career in Khmer.

09:32If I were to choose one, it would be my husband.

09:35But what would he do?

09:38I wouldn't marry him.

09:40But if I didn't do it,

09:43I used to have a husband.

09:47But now that I'm married, I don't have a husband anymore.

09:51He's gone to work.

09:53So that's why I'm not happy with myself.

09:58Why?

10:00I have my own preferences.

10:02I just do what I like.

10:04I have a good health.

10:06So I want him to have a job.

10:10He can work at home.

10:12He can take care of his children.

10:14But he can't get a job.

10:16If he can get a job,

10:18he will have the right to live in our house.

10:23If he can't get a job,

10:25If we use our savings to help them, we can help them for months, days, or even hours.

10:30That's it.

10:31So, if I talk to a business person, they can tell me that it's not a waste of money.

10:40And if it's a waste of money, we don't have to spend it.

10:43So, what I say, I think I'm stupid sometimes.

10:48Sometimes I think it's not worth talking about.

10:51Because we can't open a store for a long time.

10:55We still want to open it.

10:57But if I don't do it, no one will do it.

11:00And if we wait for someone to say,

11:02Oh, this is a small amount for you, this is a small amount for you,

11:05to make your own product, our Khmer product.

11:08So, I'm still waiting for them.

11:11So, when other people are still waiting,

11:13our product will be sold day by day.

11:16So, in my opinion, I do what I love

11:20even though I don't have anyone who loves me,

11:23or someone who loves me from the bottom of their heart.

11:26But I still have a promise that

11:29I will make Khmer people get the best score.

11:32And one day, they will love Khmer products.

11:40There is an important line.

11:42Because when we work,

11:45or when we get a job,

11:47we don't forget our values.

11:50So, what you have,

11:52you just have to score, you just have to know,

11:54and you have to control yourself,

11:56before you control others.

11:58When I made,

12:00or when I just tried,

12:02when I made something,

12:04I put Made in Cambodia.

12:06So, I have a feeling that I'm proud of myself.

12:09When I made a product,

12:11I made it in Cambodia.

12:13I'm very happy that my brothers and sisters

12:15have the same passion for making products.

12:18When I went to school,

12:20I saw a lot of brands,

12:22and Made in Cambodia.

12:24I have a feeling that

12:26when we see something in school,

12:28the brands are all over the place.

12:31But what we get is very little.

12:35It's just a small part of our work.

12:38But we don't get all the benefits.

12:42So, we start little by little,

12:45because this is just a small part of us.

12:49But it's a small part of all of us

12:51who are Cambodians.

12:53So, we start from ourselves.

12:55We don't wait for others.

12:57If I can make one, I'll make one.

12:59If I can make ten, I'll make ten.

13:01And it's not perfect.

13:03So, we start from that day,

13:05until the next day,

13:07throughout the time,

13:09we can learn from our mistakes.

13:11In the future,

13:13I will continue to

13:15make new campaigns.

13:19Especially,

13:21in the future,

13:23we will continue to work

13:25on Khmer.

13:27We don't give up.

13:29We continue to work

13:31so that our brothers and sisters

13:33who are interested in making Khmer products,

13:35especially Khmer products.

13:37Lastly, I would like to thank

13:39all of my brothers and sisters

13:41who love and support me

13:43and become a part of Khmer community.

13:45I hope that all of you

13:47support Khmer products,

13:49support Khmer community.

13:51I hope that all of you

13:53love the collection from all of you.

13:57Bye-bye.
