Host Hyon Zavecz explores how many immigrants and their children will find infestation in the most inner sanctum of their relationship language. What happens when schools advise you to drop your native tongue to make their jobs easier? Not only does it make me question my identity as a Korean but also as a daughter.
This segment was produced by Hyon Zavecz for Vocalo’s Fall 2022 Storytelling Workshop. Vocalo’s quarterly Storytelling Workshop returned this Fall with seven segments produced by community storytellers, uplifting the voices of individuals who add to the rich cultural diversity of Chicago.
