an introduction

me with foster mom, 1985

This blog is a chronicle of my diasporic Korean life.

I was born in Korea, adopted to America, raised in New Jersey, educated in Ohio and am currently living, loving and making art in Seattle, Washington.

I am a queer, fat, chronically ill, radically politicized and person with a Western education. All of these things often feel directly at odds with being "authentically Korean". But I still have a deep desire to (re)claim and (re)discover my culture, and in the process, find my own path.

My connection will never be free and easy. That is simply not meant for me. I hope that in keeping this blog I can give voice to both my challenges and celebrations.
