Rachel Kim Tschida, 39, is a Korean adoptee who grew up in Minnesota, ambivalent about her own Asian identity for most of that time. However, she talks about learning to authentically embrace herself after traveling to Asia on business trips for a major American company. Those trips – especially ones back to Korea – helped spark an interest in her own adoption history, and in turn, become an advocate for other adoptees as president of the Korean American Coalition of Washington.
