What It Was Like to Be a Korean Immigrant Mom, 1970s Australia Student Exchange feat. Sarah Kwon (Ep. #55)


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Jessica's mom, Sarah Kwon! She shares her incredible journey as a Korean exchange student in the 1970s, a time when global travel and cultural exchange were rare and challenging.

Mrs. Kwon also opens up about her immigrant life in the US, the cultural and language barriers she faced, and how she built a new life from scratch. She also shares her experience raising three children, including our co-host Jessica, and reflects on what it means to hold on to Korean traditions while adapting to a new culture.
