Katie Thao endured a dramatic childhood escape to Laos and later took part in a traditional Hmong arranged marriage. Years later, she has become a leader in Wisconsin’s Hmong community and is leading what some would consider a modern life, as a working mother and using a public radio platform to be a voice in her cultural community.
You can discover more about Katie’s history and culture by taking a virtual tour of the exhibit, Who are the Hmong?, with Matt Welter, Curator of Public Education at the Nevell Public Museum in Green Bay.
