From Myanmar to Making Space: Breaking Through the Bamboo Ceiling

Khin Kha’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical kindness. In this two-part episode, she shares how migrating to Australia as a teenager with no English turned into a fierce mission: to make the invisible visible in the workplace. From cracking jokes about “footy” to challenging unconscious bias in the boardroom, Khin explains why connection is currency and how Phoenix Sisters is rewriting the leadership narrative for CALD women. Key takeaway: Learn to love yourself!

Khin is an IT Professional, Cultural Diversity Champion, and a Videographer.

She co-founded Phoenix Sisters; a volunteer-based network that aims to help people and organisations to understand and cultivate their cultural intelligence through professional development conferences, career workshops, and mentoring programs.

Phoenix Sisters had previously won the 2021 Beyond Bank Great Ydeas, Community Grant, and successfully hosted the ‘Be your best’ conference in February 2022 dedicated for CALD professionals.

She also co-founded Kumudra Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that supports access to healthcare in Myanmar, focusing on disadvantaged members of the community.

Documentary filmmaking and videography are her other interests when her little one goes to sleep.
