In this episode of HBC podcast by MB, I talk with childhood friend Lisa McGuire. I met her in 7th grade and remember having the most fun ever at her bat mitzvah! Like my previous guests, Lisa shares with me the intimate stories that made her who she is today, a woman who has a strong sense of self. Lisa was born in Seoul, Korea, adopted at 4 months old, and raised by a White Jewish couple from Maryland. In this episode, we learn about Lisa's upbringing of growing up in a home with parents and sisters who did not look like her, the role that her Asian identity played in her life as a child, and the role that culture plays in her life today as a professional, a mother, and a wife.
