For this week's #NYAThrowback, we revisit Julie Young's interview with Donnie Kwak, the East Coast Bureau Chief at The Ringer, a sports, pop culture, and tech website. Donnie discusses growing up in Glenmont, Maryland with immigrant parents — his mom an ESL teacher, his dad a foreign services officer for the U.S. government. Kwak also shares his love for hip-hop and why his most significant relationship is with his therapist.
