Joey Eunjee Koller

This season of Koller Commentary is for the first, second, or even third gen kid who grew up translating — not just language, but feelings, expectations, and identity — and is finally doing the work. The healing. The parenthood. The marriage. The figuring out who you are when nobody handed you a roadmap. We're going deep, but we're bringing joy with us. Late night feeds, long drives, laundry piles — pull up a chair. It's about to be a real conversation.

    Leading with Purpose: The Teamwork and Cultural Impact of Camp Hwarang

    What happens when passion for Korean heritage, excellent leadership, and rooted friendship come together? In this case, it creates quite an amazing and impactful immersive Korean summer camp, Camp Hwarang, that’s shaping young minds beyond just one week. I sit down with the camp’s leaders, Hanna Chang and Hajin Yoon, to explore how their unique partnership as an Enneagram 3 and an Enneagram 1 helps them balance vision with structure, the powerful ways campers connect with their Korean heritage, the impact this has on the child and the family, and what makes this camp truly one of a kind. From navigating leadership dynamics to witnessing transformational moments, this conversation is full of inspiration for anyone passionate about culture, education, and personal growth. I left this time reflecting on how I can also do my part to bridge gaps and leave a mark to honor those who came before me and those who will remain after. 👉 Loved this episode?
