On Colin Kaepernick

In honor of transracial adopted people whose voices are not properly heard. For those who lived silenced and took their lives due to the complexities of race, gratitude, and identity. Your legacy remains. Your deaths were not in vain. — Who is Colin Kaepernick? Colin Kaepernick is a person who beat the odds. It is not his football career that causes me to say this. It is merely him being alive and thriving.

Without a Korean Umma to Cook for Me.

A lifetime that never was now lives in me. I never had a Korean Umma make comfort food for me. She never came to my side to make me Tteokbokki. It didn’t come to me. Not with extra rice cakes. Not with melted cheese. When I was 20 something I had it and later in my early 30s I…

Negotiating Salary as a Professional Minority Woman

Finding the courage to push back and further professionalize oneself is a journey in itself — I’d like to preface that I became the first professional athlete in my family at the age of 17. I remember bringing home my first check as a teaching professional in my chosen sport and my mom ripped the check out of my hands. “What? This is almost as much…

Life After Abuse

When I was in college, my Cross Country coach told the Women’s team in pre season one summer, that if we could make it through the first few weeks, our bodies would adapt. Lactic acid basically builds up and feels like complete shit working through a person’s body, especially running…

For Single Mothers Who Cannot Always See a Light at the End of The Tunnel

Promiscuity & Professional Athletes

Lived experiences having been on both sides of the coin — Ah, Yes; Sharing Sweet, er, Awkward Memories of Times on the Road With a Veteran Athlete and Performance Artist Years ago, I sat in the Pro’s room at a rink chatting with my boss. It was early in the morning, definitely before 6am. I had hardly had a chance to sip the coffee I’d brought in from home. My baby sat next to me, as I often brought him…

Ten Things I Love About Being Korean American

Celebrate AAPI Heritage, celebrate being you. Not just this month — all year round. — The saying goes that the best things in life are free. Arguably so; as far as I’ve understood, merely being born Korean didn’t cost me a thing. Having the best of both worlds; I love being Korean American. Sharing the rich Korean heritage, customs…
