Hi, I’m Angela, a Chinese/Korean queer woman living in Honolulu, Hawai’i (born and raised) with my partner and three children. In my 40+ years of life I have been builder and destroyer, hopeful and bitter, hero and villain, victim and persecutor, ignorant and wise (the list goes on). I have come to embrace containing darkness, light, and the full rainbow spectrum within me.
In my most despondent hours I felt completely, utterly alone. Alone in my shame, alone in my brokenness, alone in my cowardice, alone in my pain, alone in my desperation and destruction. I share my stories to show the truth of my human experience in hopes it will help others feel not so alone.
I suspect if we all took off our masks and met each other with hearts held out, voices flowing with the honesty of where we have been and where we are, this world would be a different place. A more beautiful place. A more loving place.
I am not the person I was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even two months ago. I know my “truth” will change, my perspective will shift, my understanding will expand. May I learn and grow until my final breath, may I discover I have been mistaken/ignorant/misguided over and over again, may I fall in love with myself and this world a thousand times. This is my hope as I continue this Earth visit.
Thank you for being here with me, for even more you may visit my Instagram, Youtube, LKE Dojo YouTube, and LKE Dojo website (currently under construction).
