Korean American author Joan Sung will be reading excerpts from her latest book "Kinda Korean" and signing books.

Join Glendale Central Library and discuss Sung's memoir that delves into intergenerational trauma, inherited wounds, fetishization of Asian females, microaggressions and the struggles of growing up in an immigrant family. Kinda Korean does not shy away from racism and stereotypes that Asian-Americans are often reduced to and provides one individual's story in her path to healing, strength, and self-identity.
