Episode 7: Growing Up Korean American ft. Song

22 minutes

In today's episode, my dear friend Song shares with us what it was like growing up as a Korean American in a town of 600 people and how 'being and feeling different' has led her to a career trajectory that centers around equity and inclusion. No one Asian or Korean American experience is the same and I hope that you can take away from this interview one very unique and valuable perspective.
