When you come from a place of multiple life-changing situations, it gives you a different perspective.
Imagine growing up in a refugee camp and then rising to become an elected government representative.

In this episode of 'Toni TV', host Toni Lontis sits down with Dai to uncover her inspiring life story. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Dai spent her early years in refugee camps across South East Asia before resettling in Australia.

Throughout the episode, Dai discusses the importance of representation in leadership roles and the need for diverse voices in mainstream media. She shares personal anecdotes that highlight her struggles and triumphs, offering listeners a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of her advocacy work. This conversation is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the impact one person can have on their community.
