I was a well renowned award-winning actor in my home country. I was forced to leave Myanmar from hardships in my country and to find myself new opportunities and a fresh start in America.  I came out here with almost nothing.  Fortunately, I had friends that owned an Southern Tsunami's sushi franchise. 10 years later, I own 3 very successful sushi bars and have many chefs working for my business.

My husband passed away and I was left with 2 children that were going to college. I didn’t know how I was going to financially get them through school, and my only job was working as a helper at a Southern Tsunami sushi bar.  One day my boss recommended me to a recruiter and soon I received a message from them.  I had my own business.  It was a lot of hard work but with help and support from my children and AFC associates, my store grosses more I expected. Now I can easily support my family and my children are pursuing their careers.
