Hi.
Welcome back to eat your Crez podcast.
I'm Jisoo.
I'm Crystal.
And I'm Lori.
So welcome, Lori.
Last time Lori was with us was actually a long time ago.
It was, like, way back on episode 27, a subtle asian dating love story.
This week, we wanted to invite Lori on to talk about growing up in a multicultural family.
So Lori is actually half chinese, half korean.
And I feel like even though both cultures within your family are, like, east asian, there's still a lot of subtle differences, maybe even not just subtle differences, but differences in general.
And so I feel like growing up in a multicultural family can be very different from a monocultural family.
So we thought it would be fun to talk about, like, the differences and how it affected you growing up and just how it affected you as a person.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm excited to be here because there's definitely more nuances than I even initially thought, and I still learn about it.
Maybe we can start with one of the most fundamental foundations of a culture, which is language.
So my family is fully korean, and while we spoke multiple languages at home, it was Korean and English, which I think is pretty common for a lot of asian american families, to mix your cultural language as well as English in the household.
But for you, Lori, did your family speak multiple languages at home?
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
