How KP Started
Sarah (L) and Aram (R) met in 2018 at Kweli’s Color of Children’s Literature Conference. Sarah was (and still is!) a fan of Aram’s children’s books and found a mentor and friend in Aram. We bonded over a shared love of children’s literature, good food, indulgent television and questioning the narrow confines of what it means to be Korean-American Komerican. After years of collaborating on projects, all the ingredients came together to bake Komerican Pie together. We hope you enjoy it!
Sharing our heART with you

Sarah Choi recently canceled her debut book deal with an international publisher to share her heART through Komerican Pie instead. She has worked with The Food Network Magazine, RachaelRay.com, Red Tricycle (now Tinybeans) as a freelance writer, copywriter and recipe tester; and also as a communication and marketing consultant to national nonprofits and consumer clients. Sarah earned a B.A. in political science from Emory University and M.A. in decorative art, design history and material culture from The Bard Graduate Center. She has lived in Houston, Washington D.C., San Francisco, New York City, and calls Atlanta home with her family today.
