Ep. 4: "Culture as a Foothold" - with interpreter & community builder Robert Holloway

In our fourth episode, we welcome Robert Holloway. His mother was adopted from South Korea. He did not grow up speaking Korean, but not only has he become fluent enough to serve as a simultaneous interpreter, he also supports other Korean adoptees by building a community and teaching them the Korean language.

We discuss his family history and the challenges many Korean adoptees face, as well as how identity is deeply intertwined with our own culture.
