All over the world, America has been idolized as the country of dreams where stars align favorably, and the grasses are greener. But, unfortunately, Judy's experience was different.
Judy Jean Kwon is an actor, director, and producer. She grew up in a Korean American video store, where she fell in love with the art of filmmaking and storytelling. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Judy split her time between South Korea and America. She started acting at 17 and has since appeared in numerous films and television series and acted in more than 100 commercials.
In this episode, Judy talked about her challenges as a Korean American immigrant, the adverse effects the American system had on her family, surviving systemic racism, and her attempt at promoting Korean American representation in Hollywood. Yet, through it all, Judy has maintained her cheerful side and even taken back the very name that was used to taunt her to rebrand herself as, "Yo mama rice."
