Nhi Aronheim

Nhi Aronheim is a TEDx speaker, professional mediator and author of "Soles of a Survivor." Aronheim brings a powerful and authentic voice to the stage, one shaped by her extraordinary life journey from child refugee to resilience expert.

Aronheim lived through war, displacement and cultural adaptation, giving her a deep understanding of what it means to face adversity, rebuild from nothing and thrive across identities. Her story has been featured on Colorado Public Radio, "Harvey Brownstone Interviews," Jewish News, and Westword, and in several anthologies, including "Kentucky Women: Two Centuries of Indomitable Spirit and Vision."

At the age of 12, Aronheim escaped war-torn Vietnam alone and arrived in the United States as a refugee. She was adopted by a loving Christian family in the South and, years later, married a Jewish man and converted to Judaism in 2004. Aronheim and her husband are parents of two children who celebrate both Vietnamese and Jewish cultures.

Aronheim's talks blend humor, heart and practical insight, helping audiences strengthen their resilience, improve communication and lead with empathy. Whether addressing CEOs, educators or community leaders, Aronheim inspires people to rise above their circumstances and connect across differences.
