Helena Rho presents her new memoir: American Seoul. Helena was six years old when her family left Seoul, Korea, for America and its opportunities. Years later, her Korean-ness behind her, Helena had everything a model minority was supposed to want: she was married to a white American doctor and had a beautiful home, two children, and a career as an assistant professor of pediatrics - but kept silent about her trauma, both professional and personal. Join a conversation with the author and Sarah Blakley-Cartwright on the courage it takes to break away from the path that was laid out for you, how to assert your presence, and discovering the freedom and joy of finally being yourself.
