“I believe the experiences our ancestors went through are so relevant to the ways we all interact with the world, even if you grow up removed from these experiences. Uplifting your own community is the catalyst to create change and connection within a broader community, because only we know how to share and interpret our stories. As a Korean American, I am so grateful to be able to give my time and energy to KACF, which I truly view as a network of people supporting each other in tangible, transformative, and long lasting ways.”
