Dr. Jenny Heijun Wills

218 | Dr. Jenny Heijun Wills

We are honoured to have the brilliant Dr. Jenny Heijun Wills return to Adoptees On today. We talk about what reunion has looked like in the time since she's published her award-winning memoir, Older Sister. Not Necessarily Related., including the practical "how-tos" of maintaining a relationship with a family member that lives abroad and speaks a different language. Jenny also addresses what it feels like to be raised with Eurocentric beauty standards as a person of colour.
