Growing Up Korean-American and Moving Back to Korea with Rée Ep. 84

Welcome to episode 84 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Rée, a second-generation immigrant, shares her experiences growing up in the US with parents from Korea and now living in Korea. She shares about the challenges of not feeling rooted in the US, battling anxiety, and navigating social norms that felt foreign. Lastly, she shares her struggles to communicate how she was struggling growing up. The people around her seemed to understand social norms. However, social norms were challenging for Rée, not just because of her neurodivergence but also because of the way South Korean culture navigates relationships.

Make sure to check out her podcast Homeroomed. It’s a podcast to rethink how we educate and prepare the next generation. Education systems around the world have been adapted from the Prussian system after their revolution. The link is below! 

With Love, Heidy
