Inspired by author and artist Hyeseung Song’s moving memoir Docile: Memoirs of a Not-So-Perfect Asian Girl (Simon & Schuster, 2024), we will discuss the realities of growing up immigrant, the impacts of colonization, the consequences of migration, and the potential for reclamation and healing of our individual health and collective legacies.

Join Sarah and Hyeseung online in January for this quarterly salon to share, heal, and contemplate the challenges, strength, and wisdom that came from growing up immigrant in the United States—no matter your generation, heritage, or birth order. As adultified children of immigrants, we may have carried legacies of war, migration, economic hardship, emotional scarcity, pressures to succeed, family secret keeping, and so much more. It’s time to let this all go.

Today, Komerican Pie invites you to join us as we redefine “the American dream” on our terms and normalize the rest we deserve and the worthiness already inside us. We endured and accomplished so much. Let’s say goodbye to generational cycles and maladaptive coping mechanisms that were once required for our survival. We made it through. We are safe and we are enough.
