Episode 9: Practicing Immigration Law in the Fruitvale
Manage episode 313614967 series 3277965
On this episode, we talk to our new friend Jane, a Korean American public interest attorney and mother of young kids. Jane works for a local nonprofit in our neighborhood, representing Latinx clients with their immigration needs. Jane talks about entering this space with cultural humility, as well as how her own story as an immigrant and a child of immigrants bridges language and cultural gaps with the community she serves. I also loved hearing how she talks to her kids about her work and experience as a working mom during the pandemic. We also talk about what would Jane do if she wasn't an attorney, which launched us into a whole different conversation...including Jane's favorite Fruitvale taco truck.
