I am honored to be able to proudly share my culture with others through the arts and serve as a reminder of how important heritage is to oneself.”

I consistently speak Korean at home and make sure to eat Korean foods and participate in Korean traditions. By preserving my heritage, I want to ensure that never once am I ashamed of being Korean. My appreciation for my heritage has grown stronger through KAYAT, and I wish to spread the importance of preserving the beauty and intricacy of our culture.”
