À propos de cet audio

Part memoir, part history, part travelogue, this is the inspirational story of one woman’s journey in Cambodia.

When Romi Grossberg decided, at thirty-five, to give up her job as a social worker in Australia for a two-year contract in the slums of Cambodia, she could never have imagined that the experience would change her life forever.

Hip Hop & Hope is part memoir, part history, part travelogue, and completely engaging. Its portrait of Phnom Penh is complicated and indelible. Its story of work in an NGO is inspirational. At this hip hop youth centre, Romi evolves from a frightened burrung to a respected manager who knows the words, the tunes, and the moves.

This is the story of trust and friendship, faith, and belief in oneself even when the world is against you. NGO's founder KK, Romi, and their kids forge unbreakable bonds and eventually breakdance their way onto the TEDx stage and to sold-out performances in Australia.

Hip Hop & Hope will make you laugh and cry as Romi shares with brutal honesty the highs and lows of life for the forgotten in Cambodia.

Romi’s memoir is beautifully written and fantastically narrated. As soon as I started listening on Audible, I could not stop or pause. It is one of those books you don’t want to end, you want to story to go on forever. However, the fact that Romi was permitted to use real names, it does not have to end. The reader is instantly connected to the organization, KK and the “kids” making it easy to search and stay updated. Her journey of navigating a different culture, socioeconomic background and individuals needs with grace and sensitivity is nothing short of inspiring. This memoir is simply stated, clearly understood yet thorough in its depth. It is certainly a story worth reading. Romi’s depiction of the events, the ups and downs moves the reader through a wide range of emotions, laughter, tears and pride.

As a couple, we really enjoyed listening to this book on our road trip. It hooked us, and we found ourselves captivated by the story about what life was like at Tiny Tunes in Cambodia. It is the best book I’ve listened to in a while. It’s funny, heart breaking at times but overall extremely inspiring and real. Thank you Romy for sharing your story. Highly recommend!
