Ep 4 - Karen's struggle for acceptance (from herself and others) (part 1)

SEND US A TEXT, we’d love to hear from you!

In the fourth episode of Monomyth Diaries, Karen takes us on an emotional and inspiring journey through her childhood and teenage years, sharing the challenges she faced growing up as the only person of color in her school. Karen opens up about the pain of being teased for her clothes, language, facial features, and food—experiences that left her struggling with a sense of duality, battling calls to reject her Chinese heritage in favor of acceptance.

As she moves into high school and college, Karen encounters a pivotal threshold that begins her transformative journey. She finds an inclusive church and meets other students who, like her, are different and searching for belonging. This period marks the beginning of her reconnection with her roots as she meets other Chinese students and eventually travels to Hong Kong, where she embarks on a powerful journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

Join us to hear Karen’s raw and heartfelt story of navigating identity, finding community, and ultimately embracing who she is.
