Moon began her teaching career in 2014 in Myanmar. She wanted her classroom to be a place of questions and fun, not just rules. When the military took control in 2021, she led protests against them. This made her family worried for her safety.
To protect her, they sent her away. In exile, she faced hard times but still worked as a teacher. She learned new skills like storytelling and created podcasts to share important stories.
Moon hopes to open a bookstore café one day, reminding her family to keep their land for this dream.
