In this episode, she’s reflecting on what it means to name her own identity and stand unapologetically as a mixed race Korean American. She also discusses, being misread and told “You’re Not…”, the anger behind “Listen Asshole”, and raising multiracial children in a world that doesn’t always make space for them.
Reclaiming pride isn’t about recognition. It’s about refusing to be defined by anyone else.
