KAZOUA THAO

I am an actress and writer with a growing interest in film and directing. I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee majoring in Acting with an Entrepreneurship Certificate. As a Hmong Asian American artist, I focus on storytelling that centers marginalized voices and challenges dominant narratives. I am interested in building sustainable, community-centered creative work on and off screen.
