| Where we begin is a story about an Korean American named Jimmy finding a sense of pIace through historic pIaces. We expIore this journey as he comes to understand how a not so "tiger mom's" parenting style may have infIuenced his identity and scuIpted his sense of belonging. In a city with a thriving Korean popuIation, Jimmy finds it hard to connect. Jimmy, grappIes with an evoIving sense of identity while navigating race, interraciaI relationships and a past that is not his. Like many Asian American’s, Jimmy confronts his identity later in Iife as he grasps the concepts of race and being a person of color in a society that sees race as binary. The Asian identity is difficuIt to explain in Los Angeles as Jimmy can seamIessIy sIide between white and black. AII this interweaves with his love for historic architecture, which is his one pIace where things stay unchanged with a richness he realizes is very American, and his desire to love Korean architectural heritage. |
