Welcome to The Curious Ahjuma podcast. I’m your host Shinhong. I’m a 40-something Ahjuma, which is the Korean word for older Korean lady. But this podcast isn’t about getting old. It’s about embracing curiosity. I’m curious about a lot of things but for most of my life, I’ve shooed my curiosity away like it was frivolous. What I’m realizing is that that’s a big mistake. So I’m finally letting myself be curious. Especially about people. I’m curious about your story of resilience, empowerment, suffering, triumph. How did you get there and why? Join me as I interview different people to hear their unique stories and let’s build a community of curious minds.Shinhong Byun, 2021 all rights reserved Art Relationships Social Sciences

    Episode 9: Andy Lowe and His Pioneering Spirit in Asian American Theatre
    Jun 1 2021

    When Andy started his theatre career in San Diego in the mid 90s, there were little to no roles for Asian Americans in the theatre space.  So just like a true pioneer, he refused to accept the closed doors and created his own.  Today he has paved the way for so many Asian American actors in the US and now he is the Director of Production and Casting at East West Players in Los Angeles.  I'm grateful for people like Andy who have so much grit and vision.

    May 25 2021

    In this episode, Mona and I talk about Mona's Abba (Dad) who moved to the US from Korea to live and dream a life of authenticity.  It's emotional and so familiar to so many of us who share the common ground of immigration to the US.
