groundings ep 6: Nurse Hilary Hwu on how distance and food ground her relationships

An exploration into mixed-race Korean experiences, Harriet and Ki-Sang speak with Hilary Hwu, a Chinese-Korean neonatal intensive care nurse, for the sixth episode of groundings.

With an upbringing that thoroughly blurred the cultural lines of Korean, Chinese, Myanmarese, and Japanese influences, Hilary gives us a window into her transition into adulthood, as she moved across the continent to build a new community and career, while evolving her relationships with her parents and her own mental health.
