In this episode of The Empowered Adoptee Podcast, we’re joined by Zack Fraser, a Korean American adoptee and board member of the Association of Korean Adoptees San Francisco (AKASF), for a thoughtful conversation on identity, belonging, and coming home to yourself.
Zack shares about his 10 years living in Korea, where he worked in private education and architecture while navigating the complexities of being both a foreigner and someone deeply connected to the culture.
Now back in California, a new father, and stepping into community leadership, Zack reflects on how his experiences have shaped his sense of identity and purpose and his desire to support other adoptees.
In this episode, we explore:
- Living in Korea as a Korean adoptee
- Navigating identity across cultures
- Redefining belonging
- Finding purpose through community
A grounded and honest conversation about what it means to reclaim parts of yourself and move toward wholeness.
