33. Transracial Adoption, Faith, and Learning About His Korean & Asian American Identities with K.J. Roelke from “The Janchi Show”

This Saturday, I welcome K.J. Roelke, a fellow member of the Springfield, Missouri community and cohost of the Korean adoptee podcast “The Janchi Show”! K.J. talks about his identity as a Korean adoptee, Asian American, and disabled person; his journey of learning about what being Korean American and Asian American means to him; how his faith and racial identity intersect; and, of course, his podcast! K.J. and I also bond over being Asian Americans in the majority-white Springfield, Missouri. (P.S. One of the funniest moments from the episode is at 32:14...hear K.J. make the most artistic metaphor of all time.)
