For this week's #NYAThrowback, we revisit Julie Young's interview with Heesun Lee, musician and rapper. Heesun was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1983, and was adopted by a Chinese American family. You may have heard her rap on the Korean TV program Show Me the Money. Growing up as an adoptee, she felt stereotyped by other Koreans, which led her to write about what she was going through in her music. She shares how the experience shaped her journey in finding who she is. Originally published 1/15/2018. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/96YO-HpJJCQ Follow Heesun Lee @msheesunlee.
