In this episode of the Empowered Adoptee Podcast, we sit down with Leah Brighton, a Korean Canadian adoptee, passionate advocate, and the founder of the first adoptee-led organization in Canada. As the President of the Asian Adoptees of Canada, Leah has been instrumental in creating spaces where adoptees can connect, learn, and embrace their histories.
Leah shares her personal adoption journey, her experience reuniting with her birth family in 2007, and how that transformative experience fueled her mission to build community and support for adoptees across Canada and beyond. With a background in speech-language pathology and executive coaching, Leah also speaks about the power of communication and leadership in shaping an adoptee’s confidence and sense of self.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
