Today we’d like to introduce you to Charia Mam.
Hi Charia , thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am a woman shaped by grit, faith, and an unwavering belief that our stories can become our strength. I came to this country as a political refugee from Cambodia, with every unimaginable barrier stacked against me. My family arrived with little more than hope, but the community around us stepped in, lifted us up, and helped us build a foundation for a life we were determined to create. Those early years taught me that I was not defined by what I lacked—I was defined by what I was willing to rise above. Long before my story was highlighted in the Kentucky Tribune or before I appeared on news outlets across Kentucky and Cincinnati, I was just navigating a world that didn’t always make space for someone like me. Yet I carved a path through hard work, education, and an unshakable commitment to honoring the trust patients place in my hands. Founding Hūe Aesthetics with my two partners became more than a career milestone; it became living proof that circumstance does not dictate destiny.
As my journey grew, so did the platforms where my story was told. Media stories highlighted the heart behind my work—my belief that aesthetics is not vanity, but a powerful expression of confidence, wellbeing, and reclaiming our sense of self. The Kentucky Tribune shared how I built my practice with integrity, education, and compassion, while my news appearances amplified conversations about safe medical aesthetics, community health, and the deeper purpose behind what I do. My Leadership Northern Kentucky (LNK) experience strengthened my voice as a community advocate, and my involvement in NKY Chamber and Leading Ladies NKY fuels my passion for mentorship and empowerment. Giving back isn’t something I do occasionally—it is the center of who I am, because I know firsthand what it means to have been given a chance when the world expected little of me.
Today, I stand not as a victim of circumstance, but as a champion for hope—and a living example of what is possible when resilience meets purpose. I use my platform to inspire underserved populations, first-generation dreamers, and anyone who has ever started life with less. I serve because I once needed to be served. I lead because I once needed someone to believe in me. And I share my story because I want others to see that triumph is not reserved for the privileged—it belongs to those who rise, persist, and choose to believe in the purpose placed on their life. Every patient I treat, every article written, every leadership role I hold, every panel I sit on, and every woman I walk beside continues to remind me that my journey started with struggle—but it has become a testament to strength, service, and limitless possibilities.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My story has never been defined by ease. I grew up in a home where my parents did not speak English well, and I learned early what it meant to navigate systems that were not built for families like mine. I have experienced doors slammed in my face and moments where I questioned my place, my path, and my purpose. I have made mistakes—real ones—that required forgiveness, humility, and the courage to pick myself back up.
Aligning with my true purpose took time. It took unlearning comparison, accepting that my journey is authentically mine, and embracing the truth that adversity is not my identity—it is my fuel. I am not a victim of circumstance; I am a champion for hope, possibility, and the belief that starting with little does not limit how far you can rise.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Hūe Aesthetics is more than a medspa—it is a sanctuary of evidence-based beauty, regenerative skin health, and deeply personalized care. We built Hūe with one promise: that every person who walks through our doors will feel seen, understood, and supported through a customized, clinically sound treatment plan. We are known for advanced injectable artistry, Sculptra and biostimulation expertise, regenerative therapies, and our commitment to continual training—including multiple annual cadaver-based anatomy labs—to ensure the safest, most elevated outcomes for our patients.
What sets us apart is the marriage of science and soul. At Hūe, our patients don’t receive a menu of quick fixes; they receive an ecosystem-based approach to skin health and aging. We assess the whole person—history, lifestyle, aging layers, wellness factors, and goals—to create strategic, phased plans that honor natural beauty while preserving long-term facial integrity. This philosophy is why our patients stay with us for years, trusting us with their most vulnerable concerns and life transitions.
Brand-wise, I am most proud of our authenticity. Hūe was created to feel warm, safe, and human—not transactional. Our brand celebrates diversity, individuality, and the belief that confidence should be accessible, not intimidating. We stand firmly on integrity: transparent education, ethical recommendations, and treatments backed by research rather than trends. Our emerald-and-gold identity represents renewal, empowerment, and the elevated experience our patients describe as “the Hūe signature glow.”
For readers who may be meeting our brand for the first time, here is what I want you to know: Hūe Aesthetics is where artistry meets accountability. Our offerings span advanced injectables, biostimulatory therapies like Sculptra, RF microneedling, precision skincare, and long-term age-management planning. Every service is delivered with intention, compassion, and a deep respect for the science behind facial aesthetics. We don’t just transform appearances—we elevate confidence, create community, and help people reconnect with the best version of themselves.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
If you’re reading this, let my journey remind you of something powerful:
You don’t have to come from ease to create impact. You don’t have to have a perfect path to have a meaningful one. What you do need is belief—a spark of hope—and the courage to keep going, even when doors close. Especially when doors close.
And as my story continues to unfold, I hope it makes you feel something—empathy, connection, a sense of possibility. But more than anything, I hope it makes you want to cheer. Not just for me, but for yourself… because if I can rise from where I started, so can you.
We are all more resilient, more capable, and more destined than we realize. And sometimes all it takes is one story—one spark—to remember that.
