Convos with My Korean Mother
Join daughter-mother duo, Jina Yoo (second generation Korean American) and Sue Yim (first generation Korean American), as they explore the joys and complexities of being a woman, being a mother and being Asian in America. Each relaxed and honest bilingual conversation seeks to preserve the precious first-generation narrative, as well as entertain and connect to listeners who will identify with the mother-daughter hosts and their unique multigenerational relationship. You’ll smile, you’ll laugh, you’ll probably cry and, hopefully, you’ll want to talk to your own mother (or other elder) and hear their story too.
