136 // with Nicolle Beaury

The Janchi Show

In this week’s episode of your favorite Korean Adoptee podcast, the Janchi Boys sit down with Nicolle Beaury and talk about growing up in upstate New York, going back to Korea, and the power of saying “and” instead of “but” when talking about our intersectional identities.

Later, try some instant coffee….is this supposed to be hot or cold?!.

The Janchi Show Quick Bio

We’re three Korean Adoptees spread out around America and each of us are at different stages in life. We’ll talk about the Korean adoptee experience from our perspectives and learn more about our shared culture, usually with food. And it won’t just be the three of us; each week we’ll have other adoptees from all over the world joining us to talk about what makes us similar and what makes us unique. So join the party!

// Meet the Janchi Boys!
