Danbi Lee is a new mom currently based in Germany, and a third-culture kid (TCK) who grew up in Turkey, Korea, and South Africa, attending college in the U.S.

In this episode, the guest and host (two old pals) talk about growing up in South Africa as Korean kids in the late 90s and early 00s. Their memories include attending Hangeul Hakkyo on Saturday mornings, racism in the classroom, and struggling to fit in among their peers.

If you're someone who lived abroad, whether as a TCK or as part of the immigrant narrative, you may have had similar experiences growing up! Especially if your family is Korean.
