“I wanted a space that merged various aspects and identities from music, artistry, culture, lifestyle, LGBTQIA+, Khmer & Non-Khmer ethnicities, and multi-generation friends and family cheer, laugh, and dance together, celebrating us for KHMR NY AFTR DRK in a club environment.” - Sally Phnouk aka Teck Savvy
Ballard VOX can confirm they 100% pulled that off and then some! We accepted an invite to attend & document the KHMR NY AFTR DRK event on 4.24 curated and hosted by Sally Phnouk

@sophiaasxm and were blown away by how incredibly welcoming, community-focused, and driven an event it was, where you could feel the love and care throughout each detail.
One of the highlights to experience was the Khmer Romvong circle dance, which DJ Teck Savvy got started! The whole room lit up with smiles, and they danced and moved in a circle of pure joy. 🖤🇰🇭
