What Do You Want to Talk About?

What Do You Want to Talk About?

Talking About What Moves Us as Comic/Cultural Archivist/Theologian/Humans. I (Samuel Lee) am Korean-American who grew up in New York. Joy Nam grew up in Bolivia as a Korean missionary kid, but has been all over the globe so if you ask her where she is from, she would say "everywhere and nowhere." Maybe all these markers are not useful identifiers; but they are our vantage points --that are constantly moving. These moving diverse vantage points create interesting conversations. So pour yourself wine (Joy's preferred drink) or a glass of Bourbon (mine), and join us for a chat!
