"“The Legacy Project began as our first effort to document the stories of first-generation Korean Americans who immigrated in the 1970s and 1980s. It started with a simple video of my parents in their home. I asked them about their childhood in Korea, their favorite memories, and their biggest regrets. What came out of that conversation is something my children and their children will have forever.”"

"Motherhood brought Alisha Bennett and Emily Flynn face to face with emotions rooted in early separation, adoption, and the fear of loss. Through friendship and community, they reflect on parenting as transracial adoptees and finding more intentional ways to love, heal, and support the next generation."

"Heather Schultz Gittens reflects on a childhood shaped by adoption, the loss of her mother, and years of uncertainty about her identity and belonging. Through motherhood, somatic healing, and connection with fellow adoptees, she has found new ways to understand her past and support others on their own journeys."

"Growing up in a predominantly white community, Emily Flynn spent years without the language to articulate what it meant to feel different. Her journey toward embracing her Korean identity, reconnecting with her birth family, and finding community has shaped her commitment to helping other adoptees feel less alone."
