Thriving Adoptees - Let's Thrive

Broadening Our Perspective With Lora Keleher


Listen Later

Some say that when we see better, we do better. I think that seeing better helps us we feel better too. More comfortable in ourselves. More at peace with the world. So the next question pops up: what helps us see better? A broader perspective. The ability to see the wood from the trees. Listen in as transracial adoptee Lora shares what she's seen about broadening her perspective and how that's helped her feel more comfortable about being her.

Here's more about Lora from her website:

I was born in a small Korean village and adopted into the Northeastern part of the United States at the age of two.

From the age of four, I started talking about working in a creative field. I used to say “I’m an artist in search of a medium” and spent many years trying to discover how to best express myself. I was active in theatre (starting in 2nd grade), but it wasn’t until I first saw independent movies in my teens that I thought about working in the field. I saw the big screen as an enormous canvas on which my imagination could paint.

As I child, I was a voracious reader – I loved all types of fiction and literature – while television and games were virtually banned from my house. I attempted writing “novels” in my spare time and write my first “book” when I was eight. Since then I’ve published hundreds of articles in print and online media, and am honing my craft as a screenwriter, under the tutelage of a talented and prolific mentor.

To complement my filmmaking skill set, I’m technically inquisitive, and love exploring new technology. Learning about new software programs, cameras, and production techniques piques my curiosity. I work as a Senior Advisor (tech) and Mentor for Apple, and truly appreciate the opportunity to assist others learn about the exciting things tech has to offer.

I take a democratic approach to the way I direct, service and mentor others. Leading provides the ultimate opportunity to serve and mentor, and I am truly honored by any chance I have to nurture and develop other people.

Additionally, I am on a spiritual path and am training to become a Shaman. I am also a Reiki Master and seek to heal. 

Traveling has given me the opportunity to broaden my perspective, and I have visited multiple countries and had the privilege of meeting people from various cultures and walks of life. Other hobbies include cooking, crafts, animals, and entertaining.

Currently, I live in Los Angeles, CA.
