Knours is a Asian-American and woman-owned skincare company. I was invited to participate in an interview for their website blog to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month.
The interview/blog post is titled: “Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with LA: Korean-American Adoptee, Educator, Traveler”
The interview is posted in printed form on the blog and includes questions such as
1. Could you tell us about your adoption story and where you grew up? Have you always considered yourself to be Korean-American?
2. How have you explored your Korean culture?
3. Have you been able to connect with other adoptees?
4. What does being Korean-American mean to you?
5. Have there been times when you faced prejudice or felt like you didn’t belong because of your race?
6. Can you tell us about the kind of work you do and what led you to this path?
7. How do you hope to change the education system through this new kind of teaching and research? What do you hope teachers will be able to gain from this teaching method?
8. How do you hope AAPI youth now will view their culture and their identities as Asian-Americans?
9. What is one piece of advice you would give to your younger self in terms of navigating your identity?
10. Is there anything else you would like to share?
