The Fawcett Report

Fame, Family, and Finding Her Voice w/ Jenna Ushkowitz

Becky Fawcett

In this episode of The Fawcett Report, I talk with actor, producer, and advocate Jenna Ushkowitz—best known for her role on Glee—about adoption, identity, and motherhood. Jenna shares her story of being adopted from South Korea and raised in New York, how that shaped her sense of self, and how she uses her platform to bring visibility to adoptee voices through her work with Kindred + Co.

We talk about the transition from fame to advocacy, how representation in media affects real lives, and why storytelling matters—especially when it’s messy and real. Jenna’s honesty will hit home for anyone navigating identity questions. This episode is full of heart, clarity, and courage. I’m so grateful for Jenna’s voice and everything she’s doing to make space for others.
