I never thought I’d raise my children in the country, but when my husband was offered a professorship at a well-respected liberal arts college in upstate New York, we nixed our plan for raising worldly Manhattan tots in favor of a slower pace. Ultimately it was a joint decision, […]

A couple weeks ago, I presented two trainings for MN-ASAP (Minnesota Adoption Support and Preservation) in southern Minnesota, and on the way home, I happened upon the song “Reflection” from the movie Mulan.
Listening to the lyrics, it hit me that the words seemed to […]

When I was asked to join Anti-Racist Parent as a guest writer, my first thought was, “Wait, I’m not a parent yet – what could I possibly say?” Then I started thinking about parenthood and what it means to raise a child. Prepping for parenthood really starts the minute you […]

How do you say to a child in the night,
‘Nothing’s all black, but then nothing’s all white’?
How do you say it will all be all right,
When you know that it mightn’t be true?
What do you do?
Careful the things you say, children will listen.
Careful the things you do, children will see
And […]

This is the transcript of a commentary I did last week for the radio show Pacific Time on KQED in the Bay Area.

I didn’t know him, but it seemed like we could easily have run in the same circles. I’m just a couple years younger than him, also Asian, not quite the […]

When my daughter turned three, my husband and I began the search for a part-time preschool. In addition to finding a match for our academic and location preferences, we wanted to find a school that was representative of the Midwestern city where we live, including African, African American, Middle Eastern, […]

We put up our Christmas lights this weekend — well, we tried to put them up, but seeing as how four of five strings of icicle lights, which worked when I tested them individually, decided not to work when I had already gotten them up on the frakkin’ house, I guess I’ve gotta run to Target on my lunch break tomorrow.

I guess at first glance, I would appear to be a good candidate as a contributor for the Anti-Racist Parent: I’m a biracial woman (mother is Korean, father is white) who is married to black man, and we have 3 mixed race children: 2 girls (9-years-old and 20 months) and […]
