Chinh Doan believes everyone has a story. Hers includes a hut, a newsroom and a lot of heart. Chinh lived in a hut in Vietnam and moved to the United States at age four as a refugee with her father. She was able to reunite her mother with their family 18 years later. As the first in her family to graduate from college and own a home, Chinh learned early that hard work and a good sense of humor can carry you a long way. She discovered her love of storytelling by reading newspapers her janitor father brought home and watching the news together while they learned English. That curiosity grew into an award-winning journalism career and eventually her own storytelling company, which helps others share their voices. Chinh lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her husband, her mother, from whom she was separated for 18 years, and their two rescue dogs. They speak English, Vietnamese and Spanish in their home. She enjoys traveling, trying new foods and creating social media content.
