Jeudy Mom’s family landed in Southern California after fleeing Cambodia in 1980. Much of his career has been about mobilizing people to support their neighbors. He has worked for Open Doors USA and the Orange County Rescue Mission, though he has invested most in his own community of Compton, California, known by outsiders for both its music scene and its crime. For eight years, he led the Compton Initiative, inspiring thousands of neighbors to support each other in reducing homeless, increasing safety, fighting racism, and more.
